#28767 closed Bug (fixed)

Incorrect value when annotating empty list as Value() on ArrayField.

Description

I have a nice simple minimal case that shows this.

You can try this on any model: auth.User was just convenient for example. You'll need at least one object in there to query.

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.postgres.fields import ArrayField
from django.db.models.expressions import Value
from django.db.models import IntegerField

User.objects.annotate(foo=Value([1], output_field=ArrayField(IntegerField()))).first().foo
# Outputs [1], as expected

User.objects.annotate(foo=Value([], output_field=ArrayField(IntegerField()))).first().foo
# Outputs '{}', which is _not_ correct.

Still a problem in current development head.

I added an (expected failing) test in #28762 for this.

I think this ticket will be easier to fix after #28762 . The problem is that psycopg2 adapts the empty list to '{}'. We cannot simply send ARRAY[] because this causes ERROR: cannot determine type of empty array. However we can send '{}'::integer[].

ArrayField.db_type() is already implemented and returns 'integer[]' so we can pass that value to ArrayLiteral and always output it into the SQL.

This might break something else, we'll see.
