#32703 closed Bug (invalid)

Deferred UniqueConstraints should not be validated in validate_unique()

Description (last modified by Manuel Baclet)

When using a deferred UniqueConstraint, we are expecting validation not to occur before transaction commit.
Considering a model with a field unique_valued_field with a deferred UniqueConstraint and two instances m1 and m2, we should be able to do:

with transaction.atomic():
    saved_value = m1.unique_valued_field
    m1.unique_valued_field = m2.unique_valued_field
    m2.unique_valued_field = saved_value
    m1.save()
    m2.save()

Currently, this raises a ValidationError.

Resolution: → invalid
Status: new → closed

The save method used in my test is broken. validate_unique() is not called in the situation described above.
