SQL generation not working properly in per-object-permissions branch

[stefan.freyr@…]

I'm getting the following error when I use the per-object-permission branch when performing a validation in a form (using newforms).

NOTE: this works fine on trunk... this bug only applies to branches/per-object-permission.

The error:

  ProgrammingError at /project/application/
  ERROR: column "a" does not exist SELECT "project_project"."id","project_project"."name","project_project"."owner_id","project_project"."short_description","project_project"."long_description","project_project"."active" FROM "project_project" WHERE ("project_project"."name" = a)

The model:

class Project(models.Model):
  name = models.CharField(maxlength=64,unique=True)
  owner = models.ForeignKey(User)
  short_description = models.TextField(maxlength=256)
  long_description = models.TextField()
  active = models.BooleanField()

The form:

class ApplicationForm(forms.Form):
  name = forms.CharField(max_length=64)
  short_description = forms.CharField(max_length=256, widget=Textarea)
  long_description = forms.CharField(widget=Textarea)

  def clean_name(self):
    name = self.clean_data['name']
    p = Project.objects.get(name=name)
    if p:
      raise ValidationError(u'Project name is taken, please choose another name.')
    return name

The view:

def application(request):
  if request.POST:
    form = ApplicationForm(request.POST)
    if form.is_valid():
      #project = Project
      print 'form is valid'
      return HttpResponseRedirect('/project/application')
    else:
      context = {'form':form, 'error_msg':"Please correct the error(s) below"}
  else:
    context = {'form':ApplicationForm()}

  return render_to_response("project/application.html", context, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

The error occurs when I submit the form containing valid information... it seems that the SQL generated from the line p = Project.objects.get(name=name) is invalid. The value of the "name" variable is 'a' but it isn't surrounded by quotes in the SQL to specify that it is a string so it's taken to be a column name.

Given that the branch in question is inactive and unlikely to be resurrected in its current form, this isn't going to be attended to.
