I'm having issues with this Django project, when I try to run migrations got the following message:
django.core.exceptions.FieldDoesNotExist: InventoryImageHistory has no field named 'InventoryImageID'
this is the class for InventoryImageHistory
class InventoryImageHistory(models.Model):
ImageID = models.IntegerField(db_index=True, unique=True, null=False, primary_key=True)
history = ListField(DictField())
objects = models.DjongoManager()
these are the migration files:
migration file number 40:
class Migration(migrations.Migration):
operations = [
migrations.RenameField(
model_name='inventoryimagehistory',
old_name='InventoryImageID',
new_name='imageID',
),
De model definition is InventoryImageHistory, but for some reason, it keeps returning an error
Well, a few minutes after I posted my comment I seem to have fixed it. It was because I had initially put the RenameField in the previous (not yet committed to repo, but already applied) migration, and even though that one had been applied, Django seems to parse all of the dependency migrations logically and decided that the rename had already happened.
This message might have to do with the fact you faked/manipulated some migrations in that app recently.
What I do when this pops up is to:
Create another change in that models.py file (i.e.: add an extra field to the model).
Run the migration
Do the change I wanted to do in the first place that triggered the error and run the migration (hopefully successfully this time)
Undo the change I added on 1. and run migrations again.
The Situation
I recently started working on a new project using nodejs. I have a background of using Python/Django and C#/.NET (not a huge fan of the latter). Node is awesome, but I must say I miss the ease of building models and automating migrations in Django. I am currently using the AdonisJS framework which leverages Knex. Knex is a powerful library, but the migrations all need to be manually built. Additionally, the AdonisJS ORM that manages the Models is independent of Knex (migration manager). You also do not define field attributes on the Models, which can have benifits for dynamically doing things in the front and back end. All things considered, there is a lot of room for human error, miscommunication and a boat load more typing required. I know the the hot thing these days is to keep it loose and fast, but for this specific project, I am looking for a bit more structure than loosely defined models.
Current State
What I have landed on is building a new Class called tableModel and a field class to define the fields within table model. I have already completed this and I am successfully writing the migration files leveraging mustache. I plan on also automatically writing the Models which I shouldn't have a problem with (fingers crossed).
The Problem
Here is where it gets a little tough and where I need help...I need to track what has been added or removed via migration so I can effectively write ups and downs as the tableModels change over time.
So let's say I add a "tableModel" which creates a migration to create table Foo with fields {id (bigint), user_id(int), name(string255)}
Later I want to add a field called description so I would simply add it to my "tableModel" and then run a build command which would build out the migration.
How do I check what has already been created though so I only do an up() for description?
Then I want to remove the name field so I mark it out in my "tableModel" and run a build migration command. How do I check what has been migrated that now needs to be added in to the down().
Edit: I would add a remove field to the up and the corresponding roll back to the down.
Bonus Round
Let's say I want to change user_id from an int to a bigint, because who makes a foreign key just an int? How do I check not just what needs to be added to the up and down, but also checks if I need to change a property on a field.
Edit: would just write the up. and a corresponding roll back to the down
The Big Question
Basically, how do I define dirty "tableModels" classes
Possible Solution?
I am thinking that maybe I should capture some type of registry or snapshot and then run the comparison when building the migrations and or models, then recapture/snapshot. If this is the route, should I store in a json file, write this to the DB itself, or is there another/better option.
If I create the tableModel instances as constants, could I actually write back to the JS file and capture the snapshot as an attribute? IF this is an option, is Node's file system the way to go and what's the best way to do this? Node keep suprising me so I wouldn't be baffled if any of these are an option.
Help!
If anyone has gone down this path before or knows of any tools I could leverage, I would greatly appreciate it and thank you in advance. Also, if I am headed in a completely wrong direction, then please let me know, I both handle and appreciate all types of feedback.
Example
Something to note, when I define the "tableModel" for a given migration or model, it is an instance of the class, I am not creating an extended class since this is not my orm.
class tableModel {
constructor(tableName, modelName = tableName, fields = []) {
this.tableName = tableName
this.modelName = modelName
this.fields = fields
}
// Bunch of other stuff
}
fooTableModel = new tableModel('fooTable', 'fooModel', fields = [
new tableField.stringField('title'),
new tableField.bigIntField('related_user_id'),
new tableField.textField('description','Testing Default',false,true)
]
)
which equates to:
tableModel {
tableName: 'fooTable',
modelName: 'fooModel',
fields:
[ stringField {
name: 'title',
type: 'string',
_unique: false,
allow_null: null,
fieldAttributes: {},
default_value: null },
bigIntField {
name: 'related_user_id',
type: 'bigInteger',
_unique: false,
allow_null: null,
fieldAttributes: {},
default_value: 0 },
textField {
name: 'description',
type: 'text',
_unique: false,
allow_null: true,
fieldAttributes: {},
default_value: 'Testing Default' } ]
You have the up and down notation mixed up. Those are for migrating the "latest" (runs the up function) and doing rollbacks (runs the down function). Up and down to not relate to dropping or adding table columns.
The migrations up is for any change, and the down is to reverse those changes. So if you wanted to drop a column from some table, you write the command in the up, then write the opposite in the down (you'd add it back in...), such that you can "rollback" and the change is effectively reversed. You have to be careful with such things though, as you can put yourself in a situation where you actually lose data.
Want to add a column? Write it in the up, and drop the column in the down.
One of the major points behind the migrations mechanism is to track the state of changes of your database, as time goes forward. So generally, if you created a table in some migration, then a day or so later you realize you need to drop/add columns, you normally don't go back and edit the existing migration, especially if the migration has already been run. You'd just write a new migration to drop/add your column.
Since you're using knex, there are a couple "knex" tables that get created. By default the one you're looking for is knex_migrations, unless someone specifically modified the settings to change the name of it. This table holds all the migrations that have run against your DB, per batch. From the CLI, assuming you have knex.js installed globally, you can run knex migrate:latest, and that will push all the migrations that exist in your directory to the target database, if they have not yet been run. It does this by way of examining that knex_migrations table. If you roll a change and don't like it, and assuming you've properly done the down function, you can invoke knex migrate:rollback to reverse the change. If there are 3 migration files that have NOT yet been run, invoking knex migrate:latest will run all 3 of those migration files under a new batch #, which is 1 higher than the most recent batch number. Conversely, if you invoke a knex migrate:rollback, it will find the highest batch number (there could be more than 1 migration in a batch...), and invoke the down function on all those files, effectively rollback those changes.
All that said, knex is a "query builder" tool. It's got a ton of helper functions to help build the sql for you. Personally, I find this to be a major distraction. Why spend hours on hours figuring out all the helper functions when I can just go crank out raw SQL and run that. Thus, that's what we've done in our system. we use knex.raw('') and write our own DDL and DML. It works great and does exactly what we need it to. We don't need to go figure out the magic of the query building.
The short answer is that knex will automatically know what has and has not been run for you (again, via that knex_migrations table it creates for you...).
Things can get weird though when it start involving git and different branches. I recommend that if you're writing migrations on some branch, and you need to go do other work, always remember to first perform a rollback of any migrations you've done in that branch BEFORE switching branches. Otherwise you will be in weird DB states that don't coincide with the application code.
I would personally just deal with updating models independently of writing migrations. For example, if I'm adding a description column to some table, then I probably want to manually update the ORM to reflect the change of the new db schema. Generally, I've found trying to use a tool that automagically does that for you (rather, if I change the orm, stuff happens to write all the underlying sql...) usually winds me up in a heap of trouble and I just spend more time trying to un-fudge stuff. But, that's just my 2 cents :)
Here is where it gets a little tough and where I need help...I need to track what has been added or removed via migration so I can effectively write ups and downs as the tableModels change over time.
You could store changes in a DB/txt file and those can act as snapshots. So when you want to rollback to a particular migration, you would find the changes (up/down) made for that mutation and adjust accordingly.
Later I want to add a field called description so I would simply add it to my "tableModel" and then run a build command which would build out the migration. How do I check what has already been created though so I only do an up() for description?
Here you either call the database itself directly and check what fields have already been created. If a field is already their and the attributes are the same, you can either ignore it or stop the transaction all together.
Bonus Round Let's say I want to change user_id from an int to a bigint, because who makes a foreign key just an int? How do I check not just what needs to be added to the up and down, but also checks if I need to change a property on a field.
Again, call the DB itself on the table in question. I know the SQL call would be:
describe [table_name];
After reading the end, I think you answered this yourself, but I think capturing these changes would work best in a NoSql database since you're using Node or PostGres with it's json field.
I have created a non-persistent attribute in my WoActivity table named VDS_COMPLETE. it is a bool that get changed by a checkbox in one of my application.
I am trying to make a automatisation script in Python to change the status of every task a work order that have been check when I save the WorkOrder.
I don't know why it isn't working but I'm pretty sure I'm close to the answer...
Do you have an idea why it isn't working? I know that I have code in comments, I have done a few experimentations...
from psdi.mbo import MboConstants
from psdi.server import MXServer
mxServer = MXServer.getMXServer()
userInfo = mxServer.getUserInfo(user)
mboSet = mxServer.getMboSet("WORKORDER")
#where1 = "wonum = :wonum"
#mboSet .setWhere(where1)
#mboSet.reset()
workorderSet = mboSet.getMbo(0).getMboSet("WOACTIVITY", "STATUS NOT IN ('FERME' , 'ANNULE' , 'COMPLETE' , 'ATTDOC')")
#where2 = "STATUS NOT IN ('FERME' , 'ANNULE' , 'COMPLETE' , 'ATTDOC')"
#workorderSet.setWhere(where2)
if workorderSet.count() > 0:
for x in range(0,workorderSet.count()):
if workorderSet.getString("VDS_COMPLETE") == 1:
workorder = workorderSet.getMbo(x)
workorder.changeStatus("COMPLETE",MXServer.getMXServer().getDate(), u"Script d'automatisation", MboConstants.NOACCESSCHECK)
workorderSet.save()
workorderSet.close()
It looks like your two biggest mistakes here are 1. trying to get your boolean field (VDS_COMPLETE) off the set (meaning off of the collection of records, like the whole table) instead of off of the MBO (meaning an actual record, one entry in the table) and 2. getting your set of data fresh from the database (via that MXServer call) which means using the previously saved data instead of getting your data set from the screen where the pending changes have actually been made (and remember that non-persistent fields do not get saved to the database).
There are some other problems with this script too, like your use of "count()" in your for loop (or even more than once at all) which is an expensive operation, and the way you are currently (though this may be a result of your debugging) not filtering the work order set before grabbing the first work order (meaning you get a random work order from the table) and then doing a dynamic relationship off of that record (instead of using a normal relationship or skipping the relationship altogether and using just a "where" clause), even though that relationship likely already exists.
Here is a Stack Overflow describing in more detail about relationships and "where" clauses in Maximo: Describe relationship in maximo 7.5
This question also has some more information about getting data from the screen versus new from the database: Adding a new row to another table using java in Maximo
Following these guides https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/rest/quickstart/target-script and https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/rest/quickstart/nodejs, I am trying to use the Execution API in node to return some data that are in a Google Spreadsheet.
I have set the script ID to be the Project Key of the Apps Script file. I have also verified that running the function in the Script Editor works successfully.
However, when running the script locally with node, I get this error:
The API returned an error: Error: ScriptError
I have also made sure the script is associated with the project that I use to auth with Google APIs as well.
Does anyone have any suggestion on what I can do to debug/ fix this issue? The error is so generic that I am not sure where to look.
UPDATE: I've included a copy of the code in this JSBin (the year function is the entry point)
https://jsbin.com/zanefitasi/edit?js
UPDATE 2: The error seems to be caused by the inclusion of this line
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.open(DriveApp.getFileById(docID));
It seems that I didn't request the right scopes. The nodejs example include 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive', but I also needed to include 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets' in the SCOPES array. It seems like the error message ScriptError is not very informative here.
In order to find what scopes you'd need, to go the Script Editor > File > Project Properties > Scopes. Remember to delete the old credentials ~/.credentials/old-credential.json so that the script will request a new one.
EDIT: With the update in information I took a closer look and saw you are returning a non-basic type. Specifically you are returning a Sheet Object.
The basic types in Apps Script are similar to the basic types in
JavaScript: strings, arrays, objects, numbers and booleans. The
Execution API can only take and return values corresponding to these
basic types -- more complex Apps Script objects (like a Document or
Sheet) cannot be passed by the API.
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/rest/api
In your Account "Class"
this.report = spreadsheet.getSheetByName(data.reportSheet);
old answer:
'data.business_exp' will be null in this context. You need to load the data from somewhere. Every time a script is called a new instance of the script is created. At the end of execution chain it will be destroyed. Any data stored as global objects will be lost. You need to save that data to a permanent location such as the script/user properties, and reloaded on each script execution.

Given the following code:
listView.ItemsSource =
App.azureClient.GetTable<SomeTable>().ToIncrementalLoadingCollection();
We get incremental loading without further changes.
But what if we modify the read.js server side script to e.g. use mssql to query another table instead. What happens to the incremental loading? I'm assuming it breaks; if so, what's needed to support it again?
And what if the query used the untyped version instead, e.g.
App.azureClient.GetTable("SomeTable").ReadAsync(...)
Could incremental loading be somehow supported in this case, or must it be done "by hand" somehow?
Bonus points for insights on how Azure Mobile Services implements incremental loading between the server and the client.
The incremental loading collection works by sending the $top and $skip query parameters (those are also sent when you do a query by using the .Take and .Skip methods in the table). So if you want to modify the read script to do something other than the default behavior, while still maintaining the ability to use that table with an incremental loading collection, you need to take those values into account.
To do that, you can ask for the query components, which will contain the values, as shown below:
function read(query, user, request) {
var queryComponents = query.getComponents();
console.log('query components: ', queryComponents); // useful to see all information
var top = queryComponents.take;
var skip = queryComponents.skip;
// do whatever you want with those values, then call request.respond(...)
}
The way it's implemented at the client is by using a class which implements the ISupportIncrementalLoading interface. You can see it (and the full source code for the client SDKs) in the GitHub repository, or more specifically the MobileServiceIncrementalLoadingCollection class (the method is added as an extension in the MobileServiceIncrementalLoadingCollectionExtensions class).
And the untyped table does not have that method - as you can see in the extension class, it's only added to the typed version of the table.
