#13171 closed (fixed)

field_subclassing test failing, needs to use get_prep_lookup

Description

I ran the full unit test suite this morning (Windows, SQLite3), and found that the field_subclassing tests were failing because the expected error for an invalid lookup_type wasn't being raised.

It turns out that the test had not been updated to reflect get_prep_lookup() being factored out of get_db_prep_lookup().

This patch corrects that, and raises a TypeError instead of a FieldError, since the docs say "Your method must be prepared to handle all of these lookup_type values and should raise [...] a TypeError if your field does not support that type of lookup."

Patch is attached, and the test now passes.

Patches broken test for field_subclassing

comment:1 by Karen Tracey, 14 years ago

I am confused. I cannot get this test to fail on current trunk (Windows or Ubuntu, both sqlite), and it is passing on the buildbots (http://buildbot.djangoproject.com/waterfall)...?

Very strange... let me see if I can track down anything more specific.

So, as noted on #13172, the test failure was due to a version-specific bug in Python 2.6.1 and upgrading to version 2.6.5 made the test start passing again. Sorry for that.

However, since the docs now recommend doing db-agnostic checks like validating lookup_type in get_prep_lookup() and that a TypeError should be raised, the patch is still technically valid. It's just not very important.

For docs reference, see here:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-model-fields/#django.db.models.get_prep_lookup

We might as well eat our own dogfood and comply with the recommendation in the docs, right?

Replying to gabrielhurley:

Just for the record, this error shows up with the stock python on Snow Leopard which is indeed 2.6.1.

Ha! Good to know. Glad I'm not crazy :-)

Sadly that's all the more reason to apply the patch... even if its a Python problem at its core there are still gonna be a number of people out there running 2.6.1 if it's the default version included in SL.

Looks like the test case is wrong anyway in this particular case. If fixing the test case also corrects an obscure test case, I say RFC.
