#27257 closed Bug (fixed)

Use the ->> operator when filtering builtin text lookups on JSONField keys

Reported by: Nick Stefan Owned by: Simon Charette

Severity: Normal Keywords:

Description

Given a model with a jsonb field, 'content', and it has a key called 'altText'.

queryset.filter(content__altText__iregex="bob")

creates this SQL

"content" -> 'altText'::text ~* 'bob'

Which creates a type error 

ERROR:  operator does not exist: jsonb ~* unknown at character 2792
postgres    | HINT:  No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You might need to add explicit type casts.

SQL actually needed is

content ->> altText ~* 'bob'

So I had to use:

queryset.extra(where=['content ->> %s ~* %s'], params=['altText', 'bob'])

Is this something to be filed under QuerySet.extra or is this more of a bug just with JSONField ?

Summary: JSONB regex and iregex → regex and iregex lookups crash on JSONField

Is the discussion from #26511 relevant here? I'd at least call it a bug that a lookup is available that crashes.

Replying to Tim Graham:

Yes! That other discussion is relevant. Especially this comment: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/26511#comment:10

The error I got was distinct, but the needed solution is similar.

Version: 1.9 → master

The operator precedence crash was fixed by 2eb7d6e6d41480f21305fc6abe2f1a443491ddec but we should really be using the ->> for text lookups as ::text will use the text representation of the accessed key.
