  • Ticket #28752

    • Property Summary Django.setup() should be idempotent → django.setup() should be idempotent

  • Ticket #28752 – Description

    initial v2  
     1Alas the ticket #27176 dealt only with the "apps.populate" part, but the whole setup() must be protected, else we'll always have weird side effects on duplicate calls.
    12
    2 I've been bitten numerous times by the impredictable behaviour of django when django.setup() was called numerous times.
     3Here is a testcase showing the reset of the "django" logger level, for example, when calling setup() multiple times.
    34
    4 In the old days I had exceptions, now it's mainly subtle breakages of logging configuration.
     5Depending on the exact LOGGING dict (with disable_existing_loggers etc.), even the shape of the logging tree might be changed.
    56
    6 I couldn't find, in the issue tracker or the dev mailing list statements about this subject, others than request from other users encountering the problem.

    8 For example this ticket concerned script+importable modules :
    9 https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/26152
     9    def test_duplicated_setup_calls(self):
     10        import django, logging
     11        #from django.conf import settings
     12        #print(settings.LOGGING_CONFIG, settings.LOGGING)
     13       
     14        django.setup()
     15        logging.getLogger('django').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
     16        assert logging.getLogger('django').level == logging.DEBUG
    1017
    11 The latest case in date for me is pytest-django having troubles with these multiple setup() calls : https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-django/issues/531 , due to multiple fixtures attempting this auto-setup.
     18        django.setup()
     19        assert logging.getLogger('django').level == logging.DEBUG  # raises
    1220
    13 Would it be OK to make django.setup() idempotent, or even expose a "is_ready" flag for easier introspection ?
