#15789 closed Bug (fixed)

floatformat filter works incorrectly when decimal precision is set low

Description

When floatformat receives a decimal places argument which is equal or larger than the current decimal precision, the decimal part isn't truncated. An example:

>>> from django.template.defaultfilters import floatformat
>>> import decimal
>>> decimal.getcontext().prec = 2
>>> floatformat(1.23456789123, 1)
u'1.2'
>>> floatformat(1.23456789123, 2)
u'1.23456789123'
>>> floatformat(1.23456789123, 3)
u'1.23456789123'

What happens inside floatformat when evaluating decimal.getcontext().prec = 2 ; floatformat(1.23456789123, 2) is equivalent to this:

>>> import decimal
>>> decimal.getcontext().prec = 2
>>> d = decimal.Decimal('1.23456789123')
>>> exp = decimal.Decimal('0.01')
>>> d.quantize(exp, decimal.ROUND_HALF_UP)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/decimal.py", line 2358, in quantize
    'quantize result has too many digits for current context')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/decimal.py", line 3778, in _raise_error
    raise error(explanation)
decimal.InvalidOperation: quantize result has too many digits for current context

At this point, floatformat eats the exception and just returns the original value without truncating the decimal part.

Hi,

I found some more problems. For example, with a precission of two digits, this regression test fails:

self.assertEqual(floatformat(13.1031, -3), u'13.103')

I think this patch solves these problems.

UI/UX: unset

The current patch no longer applies cleanly to trunk. I tried updating the patch, believe I updated it accurately, but still had test failures

    FAIL: test_l10n_disabled (regressiontests.i18n.tests.FormattingTests)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/Users/preston/Projects/code/forks/django/tests/regressiontests/i18n/tests.py", line 226, in test_l10n_disabled

    AssertionError: u'66666.67' != u'66666.666'

Sorry - kicking the can....

I applied my patch to the trunk, and I've sent a pull request on github: https://github.com/django/django/pull/44

comment:6 by Preston Holmes, 13 years ago

Patch needs improvement: set

The current pull applies cleanly - but still fails tests and doing some quick experiments appears to fail to perform - perhaps it is in the absence of a decimal context precision set explicitly

>>> from django.template.defaultfilters import floatformat
>>> import decimal
>>> x = decimal.Decimal('5555.555')
>>> y = 5555.555
>>> floatformat(x,2)
u'5555.555'
>>> floatformat(y,2)
u'5555.555'
>>>

Yes, you are right!

I resubmit the patch (patch2.diff), what do you think? :)

Better patch

Needs tests: set

It might be nice to add a test for the decimal type since you already have decimal imported:

Not stopper, but since you seem to be responsive currently for this ticket, would you mind adding?

self.assertEqual(floatformat(decimal.Decimal('5555.555', 2), u'5555.56')

Otherwise this is looking good.

Of course!

I added more test funcionts in the last patch (about the decimal module).

Thank you very much for your review :)

I'm going to improve a little bit the patch before committing it. In particular decimal.getcontext().prec should be restored at the end of the test.

Resolution: fixed

In [17297]:

Fixed #15789 -- Set the decimal precisio to avoid an exception in the floatformat filter, and added a few more tests. Thanks akaihola for the report, igalarzab for the patch and ptone for the review.

Can a commiter send this patch to 1.3? It's in 1.4, but it would be helpful to have this in 1.3

comment:15 by Simon Charette, 12 years ago

Only security fixes are backported to the 1.3.X branch.

See this page for more information concerning backport policy.

A quick correction: actually, only security fixes are applied to 1.3.X. I got that wrong, too: see #18135.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
