manage.py validate no longer accepts application name as an argument

Reported by: Pesh Alto Assigned to: adrian
Milestone: Component: django-admin.py
Version: SVN Keywords: tutorial validate arguments parameters models
Cc: Triage Stage: Design decision needed

Description

In the tutorial at http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial01/ under 'Activating Models', the following example command is given:

python manage.py validate polls — Checks for any errors in the construction of your models.

However, this appears to be out of date. When I run the example as:

python manage.py validate polls

it says that it was given an extra parameter, and that validate takes no parameters.

If I instead run:

python manage.py validate

it appears to work fine. The tutorial should be edited to remove the extra parameter.

  • needs_better_patch changed.
  • component changed from Documentation to django-admin.py.
  • needs_tests changed.
  • summary changed from tutorial: manage.py validate example shows extra parameter to manage.py validate no longer accepts application name as an argument.
  • owner changed from jacob to adrian.
  • needs_docs changed.
  • stage changed from Unreviewed to Design decision needed.

I think the question is whether we want to allow validate to take an optional application. This must have been removed in the recent management.py rearrangement.

(In [6040]) Fixed #5271 -- Fixed documentation reference to using the application name as an argument to manage.py validate. The recent management.py refactor exposed this error; it was silently ignored previously.

Add/Change #5271 (manage.py validate no longer accepts application name as an argument)
