warm igloo
so would this item be a widget your client is selling themselves? or a website that shows a product that might be on amazon and it shows on your site but when they want to buy it it takes them to amazon?
so your one site might link off to dozens of other places that are actually selling?
more of an product aggregator?
native tide
Sort of
I'm going to have a page to add and remove items though
I just need a secure place to store this data
warm igloo
k, where are you hosting your app that also doesn't have a db for you to store said data?
native tide
I'm not hosting it for them haha
warm igloo
where are they hosting it?
native tide
I'm not sure
warm igloo
cause if you need a "free" database that doesn't have secret info in it you can actually use google sheets as a crude backend
native tide
They're aren't being real explicit about things
mortal mango
@devout coral Hey, I got a new domain for my API. I set an A record pointed at the VPS. But my VPS is only accepting http for some reason. If I do the same domain but do https://, it doesn't work. It says This site cannot be reached. But if I do http://, it works but the css says forbidden. Do you know why this happens on my new domain and not my existing domain?
native tide
So I kinda just have to come up with a lot of stuff
warm igloo
but again, I wouldn't store anything in it that is "secret" even if it is a private sheet
yeah I've had clients like that man it's rough 🙂
native tide
Lol
Im just like
give me a freaking requirements docs
so i can actually do stuff
xD
they'll be telling me to add stuff at the most random moments
warm igloo
@mortal mango A record points to VPS, but is the VPS using something like Apache or nginx as the web server? They need changed too to "catch" the throw from DNS. And also to listen on the port for SSL on that IP.
so you may have your first domain set up on say 12.13.14.15:80 and :443, but 22.23.24.25 is only listening on 80
native tide
also i have sort of a noobish question
warm igloo
go ahead
native tide
how do i make an optional parameter in a route for a flask app?
mortal mango
@warm igloo I have apache
native tide
like lets say you have /x/y which could be an index, but then you could have /x/y/z
mortal mango
@warm igloo do you know what I need to change to make it work?
mortal mango
oh ok
native tide
haha thats the same SO post i read earlier
but now that i read it again
i realize you can specify defaults from the method parameters themselves instead of the decorator params
warm igloo
So, in apache, do you get to make your own changes to the vhosts? Like you can edit your httpd.conf? @mortal mango
warm igloo
@native tide Exactly. Route doesn't need to be optional, the func can.
warm igloo
Cool. See the *:80? you need a virthost defined for 443 too
mortal mango
oh how do I do that?
warm igloo
it's nicer in nginx cause you can do both in same definition of vhost, but in apache I believe you have to have two separate ones
you said its working for your other domain? there should be an example in the same conf file (assuming this is same server you said it does work on)
warm igloo
no, same file is fine
mortal mango
oh so where do I put 443?
warm igloo
it's too much to type out so trying to find a good tut for you
warm igloo
cause what you'll probably want to do is reduce your :80 vhost down to "accept this traffic and redirect to 443", and the 443 vhost will have all your other directives there.
on my servers, cause I never want to serve over 80 but someone might still try to go to it without https, I catch the request and automatically redirect to 443 version
mortal mango
ok
mortal mango
so what's port 80?
warm igloo
http
mortal mango
oh
warm igloo
and 443 is https
mortal mango
I'm making an api
so people would use http requests
so that would stop working right?
warm igloo
well, still http protocol
you want them to do it via the ssl version
no real reason to let it be plain text over 80
warm igloo
you have a ssl cert installed and everything yeah?
warm igloo
so yeah change that to 443
mortal mango
k
warm igloo
and if you see people trying non-ssl version, then you can add a small vhost definition to say "nah bro, go here"
mortal mango
oh ok
it's giving me the default apache ubuntu page
how do I make my static files to show?
warm igloo
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) https://yourdomain.com$1
</VirtualHost>```
That's from memory. Probably close but not *quite* right.Oh, sorry, that's for the 80->443 redirect.
warm igloo
Looks like your DocumentRoot is /var/www/html?
warm igloo
good question .. why aren't they showing
no, not if that's where your files are
is this a flask app? django? totally static?
mortal mango
django
warm igloo
I'm django-dumb, hmm.
You changed the port on the vhost and then restarted apache but ... now only the default ubuntu page shows?
mortal mango
yeah
warm igloo
Makes me think there is another vhost definition of 443 with its own DocumentRoot
can you search for DocumentRoot in that conf?
mortal mango
wdym
warm igloo
something is answer on 443 and serving that ubuntu page
cause your definitions look good
mortal mango
oh so like there's another 443 that's handling it instead of mine?
warm igloo
perhaps yeah
apache can get weird cause the conf files can include OTHER conf files too
er, shit, I gotta bounce man, I hope you figure this out but if not I'll be back tomorrow .. good luck though
trim star
You shouldnt use http outside of localhost
port 80 should redirect to port 443
https
vivid spear
hey um im kinda stuck so i was making a thing where u click the button and a database will make a random generated code which is a room.
everytime a person pressess that button. they redirect to that room ther will be a global timer in there and scraping stuff
but.. heres the catch. Will it be like a session or like its globally each link?
or i should make a new file using the built in python file manager
warped timber
wait why do you need to create files
@vivid spear
shouldn't your web framework have sessions
just use that and store the session data
for each room
warped timber
session data is stored server side per user
gleaming basin
hi need some help
vivid spear
is it possible to delete a session every 10 min?
gleaming basin
when i downloaded python 3.9.0
vivid spear
what modules should i use?
gleaming basin
it dowsn't work but for 3.8.0 it dose work
warped timber
session timeouts?
gleaming basin
so why is thta
vivid spear
@warped timber yeah like itll delete the room on my db
warped timber
not all packages support 3.9 yet
gleaming basin
not all packages support 3.9 yet
@warped timber ok
warped timber
just put a check into the view route
gleaming basin
what is the new runtime for 3.8.0 and 3.9.0
vivid spear
so i always have to check it
warped timber
or you could do something with a background task
but idt that's necessary
just check whenever you access it
if it's past the timeout then stop the room
and clear the appropriate session data
vivid spear
oh ok thanks :) i tought my work would be fixed if i just made a new html file every time someone makes a room
pulsar hinge
Yea, but do it in Virtual environment
gleaming basin
pip install django===3.1.2
warped timber
the 2nd one just installs a specific version
gleaming basin
uhhh so idk whta to do tho
warped timber
the 1st installs the latest version compatible with your other deps
warped timber
so do the 1st unless you have a specific reason no t to
gaunt marlin

Can someone help me with HTML tables?
peak meadow
keepalive
--keep-alive INT
2
The number of seconds to wait for requests on a Keep-Alive connection.
Generally set in the 1-5 seconds range for servers with direct connection to the client (e.g. when you don’t have separate load balancer). When Gunicorn is deployed behind a load balancer, it often makes sense to set this to a higher value.
Guys, what if my request takes more than 2 minutes, it's ok to increase this value ? It's about a flask app API with gunicorn and the request sometimes has to wait for some things to complete way over around 150-200 seconds

@peak meadow that's...really long.
why does your request take so long?
peak meadow
Because
I'm writing some ssh commands to my raspi
and Waiting for the output
and that's how long it takes
peak meadow
it will be used only by me
vestal hound
like
peak meadow
Hmm. I have no other way to wait for the output and also return something
because it might go wrong so I can return what's wrong
vestal hound
the orthodox way to do this is to return HTTP 202 with some sort of ID
then have the client periodically poll the server with that ID (or use server-sent events)
but if it's only for your personal use
do whatever you want
peak meadow
My web server will sent requests
and my clients
but for my clients
which is only one
for an api
it takes less than 1 minute for them
In the code I'm using time.wait so my ssh commands can make effect and return an actual output so I can work with it

Hello guys
I really need some help with my Django project.
The login system was all fine and working, but it's no longer working again. I've gone through the code even started the project afresh the registration works alright but I can't login not even with super admin to the admin portal.
I really need some help.
Please who can help me debug this.
gaunt marlin
@slim beacon you would use a base.html of course, follow django princile of DRYS(Don't Repeat YourSelf)
{base block}
{content block your index.html}
{base block}
@twin sable maybe post your login implementation so we can know what wrong with it
gaunt marlin
@native tide your img path?
native tide
I posted my website to production
gaunt marlin
static you need to run different
gaunt marlin
@native tide have you run django-admin collectstatic on production environment yet? django in production mode don't use path like development
try to open image with the media path then see if return
native tide
I'll do that
slim beacon
@gaunt marlin My CSS loads in the base.html, but it isn't loading in the index.html. Although my other static files (imgs) load up in the index.html no problem.
gaunt marlin
@slim beacon you can try going to developer mode in google chrome, check console and see if any of the css path return 404 first
native tide
It didn't work @gaunt marlin
gaunt marlin
@slim beacon on your child template should also add {% load static %} at the start so it detect static template tag
slim beacon
@gaunt marlin I have it load static loaded, but ill check chrome to see if the CSS is returning 404
gaunt marlin
@native tide you tried to go to the image path in src="" yet? does it return the image?
gaunt marlin
404
native tide
says it doesn't exist
gaunt marlin
yes so the image path is wrong or the image can't be access
native tide
But I can do so in development
gaunt marlin
do you deploy django with nginx ?
native tide
no. What is that
gaunt marlin
yes but django path is different on development and production
native tide
oh yeah ok
gaunt marlin
oh you just run django runserver?
native tide
in development yes
gaunt marlin
did you read over this part on django docs? https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/howto/static-files/#deployment
i haven't done pythonanywhere so sadly i don't know the process
gaunt marlin
i suspect that you set up like the docs
if so when you run collect static it should get all static file into a directory and it should work
slim beacon
@gaunt marlin Hey thank you for mentioning checking the dev tools in chrome. That pointed me to figuring out what the error had been and I fixed it.
gaunt marlin
@slim beacon oh nice, glad i can help
slim beacon
It seems that there was a 404 with a missing js.map file (a sourcemap i guess its called), and i googled what was going on and it seems that this is a somewhat common problem
found this that spoke more about it

@twin sable ok so the authentication() return None, now we know. Next print out username and password to see if it captured from the request
gaunt marlin
it's correct with database?
twin sable
yes sir
gaunt marlin
you using django authenticate() method right?
twin sable
yes
user = authenticate(request, username=username, password=password)
the imports are there too ```py
from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login, logout, update_session_auth_hash
and in your settings included?:
#Authentication backends
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)
oh btw are you using custom user model or django user model?
twin sable
django user model
and in your settings included?:
#Authentication backends AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ( 'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend', )
@gaunt marlin no its not included in the settings

try adding it and restart the server

so i'm trying to implement an API that has to support login from two OpenID Providers (Google OAuth and OpenAthens).
i'm a bit unsure as to how to implement "secured" API endpoints - for these secured API endpoints i'd need to decode a JWT token but how can I tell if the token is Google's (and then use a google token validation service) or if i'ts OpenAthens (and figure out how to decode those) - perhaps once doing the regular oauth login flow I should generate my own JWT tokens instead of using the one supplied by the OAuth provider? thoughts?

Guys, how to make a new connection to database everytime with Gunicorn ? I'm getting this every time: MySQL Connection not available. with flask app and mysql.connector
It worked with uWSGI when I have specified lazy apps to true
Which loaded app in each worked insted of master but I know that Gunicorn already does this however I can't connect to the database
it works if I specify this: mydb.reconnect() after every query I have to make..
swift sky
uhh what i did was just place my connection info into a function
and reference that function in my methods
and code in the connect, the query, the disconnect.
the cursor.
you need to also close out the connection after every query otherwise server will force you out, since each worker will have its own connection running
it works if I specify this: mydb.reconnect() after every query I have to make..
@peak meadow so do that
idk
im noob
peak meadow
reconnect works :)) way simpler than your solution but both works
@swift sky
I was looking for something so I don't have to use this every time
swift sky
i have different db that i connect to though
peak meadow
I'm using mysql connector
swift sky
like more than 1 db

I will

Hello everyone.
fast lagoon
I am very new to Flask I have gotten to the point were I have and input box and in the terminal it shows a POST html. I dont understand how i can take that and use it as a var to input into my other script. Could someone help.
pale dove
@fast lagoon You have to use the request.form.get function and put the class of the form as the parameter
kind of like this
# Ensure username was submitted
if not request.form.get("username"):
return apology("must provide username", 403)```The formatting on that may not be great so don't just copy paste
devout coral
Time to renew my PyCharm license 😕
fast lagoon
@pale dove i want to take request.form.get("username") and input that into a different python script to pull from an api
no print it on the website
idk if im making sense
pale dove
that's fine just put what comes back from that and put it into a variable
you'll have whatever the user put into the form
devout coral
You can add the logic of your script right on that post. request.form.get("field_name") will simply return the value of the field that you passed the field name. You can set that to a variable and use the value as needed.
pale dove
you got it bud
also @devout coral you seem pretty smart do you know of any free libraries for speech recognition that work with the python library SpeechRecognition?
devout coral
It is funny you ask that I was looking into starting my speech recognition project a little while back but I do not remember what the conclusion was for the research and I did not save it either...
May I ask what you are working on? You have caught my interest.
pale dove
It's a homebrewing assistant app actually
I'm a homebrewer and I need something to take hands free notes/set timers etc so that's what I've made
only problem is the speech function has to run in the background to get woken up or else it's not really hands free
I've got the logic to work but google only gives 50 requests/day
and it requests once about every 10 seconds
devout coral
Oh, well I know there are some free libraries
The application makes requests even on idle?
pale dove
yeah it's similar to how alexa and siri work
so they don't really ever stop running they just keep processing your voice and wait for the "Hey siri" phrase to wake up
devout coral
Yeah, but why not use a module that is not great but runs locally to process the wake up command?
Then once it hears it anything after that gets sent to Google
pale dove
that's definitely an option that I'm open to
i don't really mind if the background one is on board or via the web
but the options are limited for on board ones
and I do plan on having this available to the public when I'm done
so using the web based one does seem more attractive
devout coral
Well you would only need it to recognize one phrase pretty accurately and that is all
pale dove
yeah that's it
devout coral
And use the web based for everything else
devout coral
Ok, I am currently taking a break from my project cause it’s Friday so let me see if I can help you out.
pale dove
thanks bud
devout coral
Also, out of curiosity why are you on the web deck one of you are working on something that is not related to web dev?
Not that I mind. Just wondering.
pale dove
I wanted to help out UrgentCashew and you seemed knowledgeable so i figured I'd ask you haha
I already opened two rooms for my issue I'm in neon if you wanna switch to that

Hi - is it possible to somehow add custom forms to admin site? I need to make a form where i enter some data which causes 3 model instances to be created in the right order with some constraints....so instead of having to remember that order and constraints and use default forms it would be very beneficial to make a custom form for that
bitter trail
I hosted a site year back on zeit (now called vercel).
I can't find my project anymore on my pc.
So I am trying to download the project I hosted but unable to find an option.
Can someone provide a solution ?
silver shell
@bitter trail use scp or rsync?
bitter trail
No idea what you talking about.
topaz widget
@silver shell rsync is faster
silver shell
@topaz widget that depends...
topaz widget
for big recursive copies, I think rsync is faster.

I changed my mind on trying to use a webscraper in django. It just seems that it works best as a plugin to a browser. Wouldn't really be any use in a web app.
topaz widget
Sure it would.
cold haven
maybe
topaz widget
I can think of plenty of uses.
cold haven
doesn't seem logical unless you use inter-process communication, because protractor is a separate instance of a program.
topaz widget
i have no idea what protractor is.
topaz widget
I don't see why that's a problem.
cold haven
seems like too much work when you can just get the job done in a web browser client.
topaz widget
And your web app could totally run the scraping internally.
cold haven
no, it needs a separate instance.
topaz widget
Not necessarily.
topaz widget
I don't know what protractor is, but there are other ways to do scraping that could be incorporated directly into your web application's logic.
completely synchronously.
cold haven
most webscrapers are built from selenium internally and you need to plug into a browser driver
like chromedriver
topaz widget
yeah, there are headless browsers.
cold haven
wdym?
topaz widget
but there are also simpler web scrapers that don't need a browser.
They just use pure http requests.
cold haven
you know of any with an API I could use?
topaz widget
What I mean is that there are browsers that don't need a gui to run and can run on a server.
cold haven
name one.
topaz widget
BeautifulSoup
cold haven
ok
topaz widget
not a browser
That's a library for scraping.
You would use Python urllib for the scraping.
to make the requests*
cold haven
how do I know the difference between something like selenium and beautiful soup?
where would be the determining factors?
topaz widget
Selenium can run JavaScript, beautifulSoup can only parse static html.
So BeautifulSoup is limited in what it can do compared to Selenium.
cold haven
so, does it use spiders or something and read elements like a search engine would?
in static html?
topaz widget
BeautifulSoup is more of an html/xml parser.
It's not really used for making requiests.
That's done with Python's urllib.
cold haven
why did you say you could make requests with it then?
topaz widget
I didn't
cold haven
so you use one in combo with the other.
topaz widget
Anyway, here's some information on using Selenium on a server:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17854598/can-selenium-be-run-on-a-server-to-automate-tasks-or-does-it-need-a-browser-to
cold haven
i don't want to read that , but I get you.
topaz widget
yes, you need to use beautifulsoup with urllib
cold haven
ok thanks
my question wasn't if selenium works on a server.
it's a question of what is better to use.
and hooking into a chromedriver is not what I want to do
native tide
Hey, so I want to create a new field to my object, and that field will contain several users, how can I do that?
I would like to add a button to users' pages and that button will add them to that specific object field. (Django)
cold haven
or running a separate script
topaz widget
Here's a somewhat trivial example of using BeautifulSoup:
import urllib.request, urllib.parse, urllib.error
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import ssl
# Ignore SSL certificate errors
ctx = ssl.create_default_context()
ctx.check_hostname = False
ctx.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_NONE
url = input('Enter - ')
html = urllib.request.urlopen(url, context=ctx).read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
# Retrieve all of the anchor tags
tags = soup('body')
for tag in tags:
# Look at the parts of a tag
print('TAG:', tag)
#print('URL:', tag.get('href', None))
print('Contents:', tag.contents[0])
#print('Attrs:', tag.attrs)
Be forewarned, though, you probably shouldn't be using web scraping for some kind of web application in most cases.
If a website wants you to programmatically access their data, they will almost always have an API for that sort of thing.
topaz widget
If you plan on doing this ethically--even being able to use BeautifulSoup completely synchronously in your website's code--I would recommend doing the web scraping asynchronously since you can't control how long it will take a website to respond to a request.
devout coral
Anyone here have experience setting up celery?
topaz widget
I might just use AJAX if I were going to use something like this and de-couple the web scraping functions from my website's "views".
devout coral
With django that it.
topaz widget
AJAX would send a request to the server, which would then handle the scraping and return a response to the user in JSON.
cold haven
yes, AJAX is nice.
topaz widget
I have not used any server-side asynchronicity yet.
cold haven
I suppose I can run it in django and connect to sites on the backend and box the data into a database.
topaz widget
Yes, you could. I'm not sure how to handle asynchonous views or endpoints on the backend, though.
cold haven
I want to create a controller logic that calls it
works as an intermediary between the view and model logic
well, you wouldn't need to use AJAX in django
cold haven
oh
topaz widget
Not sure if it would be necessary or if all that stuff is just handled under the hood in Django.
cold haven
there is an async python library I bet.
topaz widget
there 100% is.
I just don't know if you need to use it or if views are called asynchronously innately by Django.
cold haven
yeah that would be the next step in my learning of Django
how to build the logic on the backend and send a view to the client
shouldn't be a big issue
topaz widget
Usually it's pretty straightforward, but communicating with a server controlled by a third party is another matter.
cold haven
which is why I just want to use a browser plugin for it.
topaz widget
I might just be overcomplicating things.
If you're the only person using your application, you can use the browser plug-in, but if it's an application that will be used by other users, you can't really expect people to download a browser plugin to use your web app.
cold haven
depends on how big your company is really, but generally a company has its own software.
topaz widget
If this is just going to be used internally to some organization, then yes, I suppose you could.
cold haven
you could have a bunch of people using browser plugins on different clients
topaz widget
I was thinking more for mass consumer market.
cold haven
yeah
topaz widget
Joe Schmoe should not have to download a plugin to use your website.
cold haven
something that is client based would definitely need to be defined as that.
topaz widget
You might even just do the scraping on the front-end.
I've thought about this issue.
cold haven
but you are overcomplicating things.
topaz widget
Here's why I might do it on the front-end...
not overcomplicating, may even be simpler.
cold haven
it is
topaz widget
There is a good reason to do it from the browser.
devout coral
Django does not work asynchronously you need something like celery for that.
Which is what I am trying to set up but setting it up on windows is a pain and I do not feel like putting it on the server to test that functionality atm.
topaz widget
Distribute the requests so that
- you don't have to worry about server resources
- spread the IP addresses of the requests to avoid getting IP banned due to excessive request volume from one source
devout coral
Wait what are you trying to do?
topaz widget
Box is trying to do web scraping within a web app.
The web application does web scraping.
web-ception
cold haven
it really depends on the application you are trying to make as to doing it front or back end.
topaz widget
true, but if all the data is just going to the user, the client can just do the scraping and then save whatever needs to be saved to the back-end when done.
cold haven
the bigger issue is security
topaz widget
It would distribute the requests and resources better by having the front-end do the scraping.
Seems to me like JavaScript would have decent libraries for this sort of thing.
It really depends on your use case.
If you just want a server continuously analyzing certain web pages, then yes, better to do it on the back-end.
But if the scraping is initiated by a user's whim, it might be better to do it on the front-end.
cold haven
i didn't really want advice on how to make an MVC app, so you are over-thinking
topaz widget
It's relevant to what you asked, though.
cold haven
and it's straightforward
topaz widget
Like, I said, it really depends on your use case.
cold haven
I said that before you did.
warm igloo
be nice y'all
warm igloo
also, front end scraping is gonna hit CORS issues amongst other things that limit js's reach
topaz widget
good point
warm igloo
If you want to scrape with js, it won't be in browser, it'll be nodejs and you'll back to backend at that point. nodejs does have scraping libs, but they're not gonna run in browser.
cold haven
that's why i'm in this channel, because I know it's back to back end.
topaz widget
That's a good point and a big oversight on my part.
cold haven
it's silly to think you can run this on the front end.
warm igloo
and if you're worried about being banned, you're building a scraper that is against TOS and that means we should NOT discuss that on this discord server
its against the rules
warm igloo
I know. But getting banned for doing it was mentioned, which then means the target has limits, which likely means some TOS setup, which IS against the rules to violate ANY tos on any site
topaz widget
Search engines use scraping though.
warm igloo
And Box, no need to be condescending, they worked through it, had a discussion, and now they see there would be a lot of limits to make it not a good choice
yes, and people like good bots and hate bad bots .. don't build a bad bot
warm igloo
er, my misread then cause it totally seemed like you were in the convo and being snarky .. my bad
chat is fun
so easy to misconstrue tone
topaz widget
I don't think you were misconstruing anything.
cold haven
yeah, i'm not bothered by it.
warm igloo
hey, look, a squirrel! back to web dev talk? 😉
topaz widget
lol. I need to hit the weight room actually...
cold haven
I didn't think you needed to connect to another server in urilib
it just let's you connect to endpoints
not any specific server but it's a feature of the api.
it doesn't even matter and you can connect from client or server.
it's just a built in web browser basically
kind of like what you would see in React Native.
this guy went on a rant about MVC but it's fine.
i'm not upset about it, so let's just drop it.
Trolls like that wouldn't land a job very well or find it hard to land a job.
that's why there is Karma for Trolls.
topaz widget
wtf are you talking about?

lol no worries
cold haven

wtf are you two arguing about

I'm done talking to you psycho
cold haven
this is epistemological

@warm igloo I was going to ask you a question, but this chat has been poisoned.
cold haven
just ignore me

"i'm not bothered by it" has to make sure to replay the conversation in a summary just to prove some point
lol
warm igloo
time to step away and paint some toy soldiers, peace y'all

quick cargo
Reading through everything that you lot have gone through is mind boggling
cold haven
it's an interesting topic, but I do think implementing a webscraper on the front-end is a waste
you need a data store if you are going to go that route I believe.
I know that webscrapers are frowned upon because they can be used for evil things, but I would be using it for legitimate business purposes.
quick cargo
The only reason todo it as if it was a actual 'client' would be to make use of the JS enabled system and testing
topaz widget
I blocked that other guy. He was being insane.
quick cargo
which does exist for the record
cold haven
yeah you would use it for protractor
quick cargo
For example Selenium is a multi-language set of packages that completely automate the browser
topaz widget
I was trying to help him and then he just started going psycho on me.
cold haven
front end testing for endpoints and that's it.
quick cargo
you generally wouldnt use the front end directly with a manual client on it because it causes all sorts of issues
but browser automation is not uncommon for testing
and entire systems are built around that
quick cargo
What do you mean by security issues though and in what context
cold haven
you can make requests behind a reverse proxy on a cloud service for example instead of making it client specific
quick cargo
make what client specific though lol
cold haven
so it's nice to give someone advice up to the point that they want it is my point. If you tried to give your boss advice you would get fired pretty quick.
Just a word of advice.
I think I have said enough and that includes advice for trolling.
quick cargo
i mean coming from someone viewing this outside of that conversation it looks like none of you really knew either what you were talking about or what the actual topic was, Just looks like a mess of one person talking about one thing and the other on another trail of thought
cold haven
because you are in a different perspective.
how could you get what we are talking about
just like i didn't know what he was saying.
it works both ways
quick cargo
because i have eyes and a brain, I can scroll up and read through the conversation
:P
cold haven
yeah right...give me one good point about it
quick cargo
It just looks like you two trying to one up each other every time tbh
cold haven
you can't really speak paint with a broad brush and expect results either.
which is what you are doing right now...
quick cargo
🤣 Im starting to see who caused this original issue now
cold haven
I'm the one who asked the question originally.
So yes, and what reading skills and brain if it took you that long.
Constructive Criticism.
quick cargo
That's not constructive criticism that's picking fights with people who originally were trying to help you Altho i think discuss would be a better word for this lmao
cold haven
🙂
well, I don't think anyone likes an over explanation of a topic.
I know this from experience.
you end up cheating yourself and making yourself look bad.
I was just trying to save him from embarassment.
quick cargo
🤣 Im gonna resist the temptation of opening this can of worms
cold haven
whatever, I'm glad someone has a sense of humor in here.
I admit I don't know it all.
I know pythagorean theorem and that's enough for me.
you need petabytes of storage to be the best troll.

I'm making an API request with a username field which is less than 4 characters long. It is responding with "Ensure this field has at least 4 characters." but I don't know why.
This is my model, I added MinLengthValidator to the username field, but my message is different to that being shown on the API response. Does anyone know why?
class Users(models.Model):
username = models.CharField(max_length=20, unique=True, validators=[
MinLengthValidator(4, message={"error": "Username must be at least 4 characters in length."})])
email = models.EmailField(validators=[EmailValidator()], unique=True)
# Email validator similar to that within a form.
password = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=False)
lmao
native tide
cold haven
MinLengthValidator has a param of 4 in it that's probably why 🙂
native tide
The 4 specifies the minimum length of the passed value
cold haven
you asked why is it giving you an error of minimum of 4 characters
I think that's it
idk
native tide
I didn't ask that
native tide
I think I've found my solution anyway. It's just that I specified the message="something" in my validator which should be the message shown in a ValidationError (I think?) but I can just write a custom validator with my desired message which does the same thing
cold haven
if the issue I specified isn't the effect then it's certainly the cause.
quick cargo
Does message actually take a dictionary
cold haven
i like sets
quick cargo
Looking at le docs it takes a normal string
native tide
I don't know. Probably not. But I have tried a string also and it doesn't work so idk
quick cargo
I take it you're using this as a model form not just saving it after making it
quick cargo
Yeah but they're not automatically ran technicall6
Though further reading validator Litterally just does
If X > nunber
quick cargo
No idea what you're going on about but okay
native tide
lmao
cold haven
this wasn't the college course we were looking for.
native tide
I'll keep the main validation on the backend and the minor stuff (like making sure username > 4 characters) on the Frontend. Using react so might as well
Cant give a scooby doo to work out why django does what it does
but it is what it is
quick cargo
It's a weird issue I'll give you that
Most likely it'll be something random throwing it off
native tide
This is the validator itself
class MinLengthValidator(BaseValidator):
message = ngettext_lazy(
'Ensure this value has at least %(limit_value)d character (it has %(show_value)d).',
'Ensure this value has at least %(limit_value)d characters (it has %(show_value)d).',
'limit_value')
code = 'min_length'
def compare(self, a, b):
return a < b
def clean(self, x):
return len(x)```
And somehow it is returning this??I don't even see how that validator is creating that message
I am using a serializer so maybe it's doing something
quick cargo
If you remove the validator does it give the same message out of curiosity
native tide
That message only came up when I added the validator to the model
quick cargo
Is this DRF?
quick cargo
Looking at their docs they have a bit of a diffrent system todo validator with the serializers
Then again this is probably going beyond my experience with django
native tide
Ooh that is probably the problem. The validation error in the docs is eerily similar to my one
Lol changing the message that the validator itself returns changes nothing. So it must be a serializer thing
This is definitely above me... gonna shove this behind the counter
vestal hound
Lol changing the message that the validator itself returns changes nothing. So it must be a serializer thing
@native tide it is
validation is a serializer-level operation
in DRF
native tide
HOLY SHIT NOW IT WORKS
yesssiiirrrrr
Thanks @vestal hound
So, the serializer does the validation. If I .save() a serializer object, will the model I already have also do its validation on the data?
vestal hound
So, the serializer does the validation. If I .save() a serializer object, will the model I already have also do its validation on the data?
@native tide nope
basically Django model validators are tied to Django forms
native tide
Oh okay, so any validation I have in a model's field is only for its forms?
vestal hound
uh...
okay maybe I didn't explain that properly
let me rephrase
in DRF, validation is run solely by the serializer
BUT if you use a ModelSerializer, then it pulls the validators from the (model) fields and uses appropriate substitutes when creating the serializer fields, as a convenience
you can read https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/validators/#validation-in-rest-framework for more info
With
ModelFormthe validation is performed partially on the form, and partially on the model instance. With REST framework the validation is performed entirely on the serializer class.
...
When you're usingModelSerializerall of this is handled automatically for you. If you want to drop down to usingSerializer classesinstead, then you need to define the validation rules explicitly.
(emphasis mine)
native tide
Ahhh. That explains a lot. I was using ModelSerializer and I didn't know where my validation message was coming from, so I guess it did it automatically for me. That was the thing I wanted to change
vestal hound
yeah, you can change it by manually defining the field in question
native tide
And is that only achievable by making it a Serializer Class?
If I have a modelSerializer like this...
Is there a way to manually define each field and add their validators?
vestal hound
And is that only achievable by making it a Serializer Class?
If I have a modelSerializer like this...
@native tide just like
title = serializers.CharField()
for example
native tide
Am I doing this right? I tried to define each field explicitly but for the ModelSerializer I need the class Meta and fields = [] defined... So I ended up with this:
class UserSerializer(ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Users
fields = ["username", "email", "password"]
username = CharField(max_length=20,
validators=[MinLengthValidator(4, message="Usernames must be at least 4 characters long")])
email = EmailField()
password = CharField(max_length=100)```
This is just using the fields in the fields variable and not the others.
Doing it with Serializer, not ModelSerializer, works just fine.@native tide no outside Meta
native tide
Awesome! Thanks @vestal hound that gave me a great practical understanding of validation with serializers. I'm new to DRF so I'm yet to understand all the theory but that's made what I want to do much more easier and understandable
Really appreciate it

Hello #web-development! I am working on a web platform, currently working on some different authentication methods. I am seeking for your input. What authentication method should I use, when I want the best ease for my clients/users? I have worked with a passwordless method and jwt token based method. "My end goal would be to let the client only have to enter an e-mail adres where a verification link would be send to the clients e-mail adres, where if they click on it, it would ask for there information." If someone could give me somewhat information to reach my endgoal I would love to know that." Thanks in advance! 😄

@full steppe frontend is the elements that the user interacts with like buttons and pictures and stuff like that so front end would be html and css. html is used to display data and css is used to stylize that and customize your website further and as far as i am aware django does not do that.

if i use ORM i dont need to create a table in my .py right? i can just create a table via terminal mysql right?
native tide
@wanton ridge You create a model in Python... say you create a model called Users, then in your '/register/' you can just do:
user = Users(username="something".....)
db.session.add(user)
db.commit()
and the user object is added to the db
Read the docs on it
wanton ridge
ahh thanks
native tide
It's much better to use models rather than raw SQL because with raw SQL you will be repeating yourself often e.g. if you want to validate userinfo and overall it's much easier
manic grail
Hi there, which db would you use if you had to choose, PostgreSQL or MySQL, and why?

This is somehow related to Python. Does any of you have any ideea ?
The path is the same but when using sudo and the path, it's not working

Hello, has anyone integrated any crypto currency (Blockchain preferred) payment and receiving API with Django?
Please don't ignore if you have.

I want to have a React frontend with a Django backend. Can anyone let me know how I should do session management or auth?
fervent vortex
can you guys explain to me how the urls/requesting/etc works?
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/intro/tutorial01/#write-your-first-view
native tide
@fervent vortex When you make a request to a URL, your Django app will have a view which is a Python function which will run. For example, rendering a .html page for the user to see. In Django you can set which URLs you want your website to have and you can assign views to them. So, if I make a request to mywebsite.com/register/ my view renders a sign-up page. If I make a request to mywebsite.com/pricing/, another view will render a pricing page.
native tide
Are JWTs a good option for React-Django combo?
native tide
The urls.py in your root directory will contain the urls for your apps. So if you have apps polls and pricing, it will contain the urls for them.
Then in your apps if you want any leading urls, like /pricing/new/, you will add the new/ there
You don't need to have 2 urls.py but seperating it by app makes it nicer
fervent vortex
hm ok

I am using django session based auth and i want to be able to test my endpoint via url using python manage.py test. How do I do that?
@native tide "Are JWTs a good option for React-Django combo?" use session based auth
native tide
Is that possible if I have a React frontend with a Django backend? They only communicate via APIs @silver shell
silver shell
@native tide of course its possible - why shouldn't it be?
native tide
I'm not saying it isn't, I've not worked with Django auth yet so I'm just unsure on what to do.
silver shell
then use session based auth 🙂
silver shell
I can refer you to this blog post that has a github repo which explains exactly how to do it: https://blog.tinbrain.net/blog/session-auth-spa.html
native tide
Thanks, much appreciated! @silver shell

Hi guys, anyone knows why I'm getting a 403 when I'm trying to run a test against a Django REST Framework API endpoint on my own localhost server?
class RegisterAccountTest(APITestCase):
def test_register_user(self):
url = '/users/'
data = {
"username": "testuser",
"email": "testuser@gmail.com",
"password": "password321",
"is_staff": 'false',
"is_active": 'true',
}
# Use APIClient provided by Django REST Framework
client = APIClient()
client.login(username='pidgeon-admin', password='[insert password here]')
response = client.post(url, data, format='json')
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
self.assertEqual(User.objects.count(), 3)
self.assertEqual(User.objects.get().username, 'bobdoe')
client.logout()```This is my code so far for my test case

Hello, guys
I was working in Docker python web
I have got this error
Docker version: 19.0.12, python: 3.7.9 , Os: Mac Os (Catalina)
native tide
Trying to make an API call with axios. But I'm getting this error right after I submit my form:
This is my JS (React)
handleSubmit(){
if (this.state["password"] === this.state["confirm-password"]){
axios.defaults.xsrfCookieName = 'csrftoken'
axios.defaults.xsrfHeaderName = "X-CSRFTOKEN"
axios.POST("localhost:5000/api/register/", {
"username": "ReactUser",
"email": "ReactEmail@gmail.com",
"password": "React",
"confirm-password": "React"
}).then(res => {console.log(res)})
}
}```And my API view if that will help...
@api_view(["POST"]) # API view for POST requests
def register(request): # This will register a user from their POST request.
if request.method == "POST":
if "username" and "email" and "password" and "confirm_password" in request.data:
if request.data["confirm_password"] == request.data["password"]: # Checks that password is confirmed.
hashed_password = make_password(str(request.data["password"])) # Hashes password
request.data["password"] = hashed_password
else:
return Response(data={"password": "Passwords do not match"}, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)
serializer = UserSerializer(data=request.data)
if serializer.is_valid():
serializer.save()
return Response(data=serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
else:
return Response(data=serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)
else:
return Response(data={"error": "Model fields not satisfied"}, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)```I'm getting a 404 error and my API view does not return them. So the request is not reaching the API
native tide
The same issue occurs with post being lowercase
apparently it's something to do with csrf
silver shell
you should check if you have a session token
native tide
I haven't added any session auth yet
Just trying to make a plain POST call to the API view to sign up a user
silver shell
You should try to clone that repo and see if you can make it work there first....that would be easier to debug for you
native tide
I think it's something to do with the form itself. not the axios call (but idk)
return(
<div className="container-fluid">
<form method="get" onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
<div className="form-group">
<label className="text-muted">Username</label>
<input type="text" id="username" />
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<label className='text-muted'>Email</label>
<input type="text" id="email" />
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<label className="text-muted">Password</label>
<input type="text" id="password" />
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<label className="text-muted">Confirm Password</label>
<input type="text" id="confirm-password" />
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<button className="btn-lg btn btn-block" type="submit">Submit</button>
</div>```When I switch the form method from post to get the error message disappears
but if I switch the method on the axios request nothing changes
so it leads me to think it's somethin to do with the form
silver shell
hehe ok...looks like you didnt read that blog at all
native tide
but how can I implement a cookie for a user if they don't even have an account?
zealous tusk
what is the best place to learn django?
silver shell
@native tide you are posting json which is totally wrong for django session auth
and which quite clearly shows you did not read the blog at all
native tide
@silver shell but the first API view in the blog checks if a user has an account. I need the user to actually create an account first, by doing this signup form -> api
silver shell
const data = new FormData()
data.append('username', username);
data.append('password', password);
from the blog
native tide
honestly I don't understand what they're doing in that paragraph
silver shell
In which paragraph?
native tide
const user;
document.querySelector('#login-form').addEventListener('submit', async ev => {
ev.preventDefault();
const data = new FormData(ev.target);
const resp = await fetch('/user/', {
method: 'POST',
body: data,
credentials: 'same-origin'
headers: { 'X-CSRFToken': csrf_token },
})
if (resp.ok) {
user = await resp.json();
} else {
errors = await resp.json();
}
})```And to me it seems like that blog only covers the fact that a user has already created an account. But I have not gotten to that stage yet...
from django import http
from django.views.generic import View
class UserView(View):
def get(self, request):
if not request.user.is_authenticated:
return http.HttpResponseForbidden()
return http.JsonResponse({
"id": request.user.pk,
"username": request.user.get_username(),
})```@native tide then i can tell you that you are wrong
@native tide it covers sign up, validation and sign out
native tide
Could you kindly explain how it covers sign up? Because that's the part which I can't see
silver shell
You have it right there. You just pasted the javascript part of the sign up code
native tide
Ok... so you're making a POST request with these lines:
fetch('/user/', {
method: 'POST',
body: data,
credentials: 'same-origin'
headers: { 'X-CSRFToken': csrf_token }```
where the data is FormData(ev.target) (idk what this is but I assume it's just a dict with username/password etc)
and then that request is handled by this view?
```py
from django import http
from django.views.generic import View
class UserView(View):
def get(self, request):
if not request.user.is_authenticated:
return http.HttpResponseForbidden()
return http.JsonResponse({
"id": request.user.pk,
"username": request.user.get_username(),
})
def post(self, request):
form = AuthenticationForm(request, request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
login(request, form.get_user())
return self.get(request)
return http.JsonResponse(form.errors.get_json_data(), status=400)
})```and the user data is passed here?
if form.is_valid():
login(request, form.get_user())
return self.get(request)```Is that the signup route?
silver shell
const resp = await fetch('/user/', { is the signup route
native tide
and why is that?
silver shell
mmm because thats how its built i guess 🙂 I am not sure i understand your question
user data is passed here const data = new FormData(ev.target);
native tide
Well as a beginner to Django session auth and having a react frontend I don't think that blog does any favors in teaching why
And yes I did read it
native tide
e.g. why this is signup:
fetch('/user/', {
method: 'POST',
body: data,
credentials: 'same-origin'
headers: { 'X-CSRFToken': csrf_token }
silver shell
Because /user/ handles sign up and data contains signup data

Hi I’m new this would be to know or can I best learn web-development**
silver shell
@random karma its good to learn web-development** yes 🙂
random karma
I am in school but the web development courses are not good enough and it is difficult to learn well
@silver shell Do you know where I can learn more on my own?
silver shell
Yes, here is an absolutely excellent place to start 🙂 https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/intro/tutorial01/
native tide
Ok. So that that was what I'm trying to do. But in the line headers: { 'X-CSRFToken': csrf_token } where is csrf_token defined?
silver shell
thats what i was asking you initially...to check if the csrf has been saved on your client. Anyway...the github repo linked to from that blog shows how to fish out the csrf_token on your client: https://github.com/bsdis/django_react_session_auth/blob/master/frontend/src/App.tsx#L12

Thanks ^^
patent badger
how do i run some code every time someone connects to my website?
its flask
like i want to print something like
{ip} connected
or if they are signed in
{username}/{ip} connected
spark parcel
@patent badger I assume you are using templates of some kind? Just print their IP address/username into your template.
return render_template('welcome.html', ip=request.remote_addr, username=username)
spark parcel
then print() it
patent badger
i wanted one function that would run on every request so i don't have to add it to every page.
spark parcel
so.. gunicorn/your proxy should do apache style logging of the IP address right?
if not..
you can setup logging that includes the IP address/username
'[%(asctime)s] %(remote_addr)s requested %(url)s\n'
'%(levelname)s in %(module)s: %(message)s'
)```I mean, this is what it logs rn
