#10089 closed (fixed)

Aggregation breaks QuerySet.count() with empty results

Reported by: Kyle Fox Owned by: David Larlet
Component: Database layer (models, ORM) Version: dev

Description

When calling count() after performing an __in=[] filter, a TypeError is thrown (see example). This is because BaseQuery.get_aggregation is attempting to zip query.execute_sql(SINGLE) (line 301), which can evaluate to None in Line 1933:

# Works, even if the filter returns no results.
User.objects.filter(id__in=[1,2,3]).count()
User.objects.filter(id__in=[99,100,101]).count()

# Breaks: Filtering with an empty list and then calling `count()` throws an error.
User.objects.filter(id__in=[]).count()

I'm not sure how to fix this problem. I'm assuming that a return value of None is the intended behavior of execute_sql in this case, and that get_aggregation should be make more robust to handle a result of None.

(In [9786]) Fixed #10089 -- Corrected handling of aggregates when the query set contains no items (and the cursor returns None). Thanks to Kyle Fox for the report, and david for the initial patch.
