#25547 closed Bug (fixed)
refresh_from_db leaves FieldFile with reference to db_instance
Description ¶
#### models.py
class Product(models.Model): myfile = models.FileField(upload_to='folder')
##### elsewhere.py
product = Product.objects.create(myfile='filename') product.refresh_from_db() assert id(product.myfile.instance) == id(product) # false
product.file.instance
is actually db_instance
which is used internally in refresh_from_db
.
This leads to strange results when trying to use FieldFile.save
or FieldFile.delete
, since you would be modifying db_instance
instead of the intended instance
. This also means any field that uses a descriptor_class
that returns an attr_class
will have this same issue, I've used this pattern for custom fields.
This could most simply be fixed in the FileDescriptor
itself, because frankly I don't see how this could be fixed for all cases in which a field has reference to the instance
from which it was instatianted from. Perhaps a warning on refresh_from_db
in the docs about this risk?
