Description

I have a form that uses ModelChoiceField.

My unit tests throw strings and very large integers at the ModelChoiceField field. I expect the clean() method to trap any bad input so that I don't have to. Sending strings ("abcd") or very large integers (01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789) causes exceptions.

To reproduce, I'm attaching a minimal django project as a tarball.

I'm also attaching a patch that fixes these two cases. Not sure if there's a better fix that would be preferred.

Using svn 9692.

Test case:

  1. tar zxvf overflow.tgz
  2. ./manage.py syncdb --noinput [db is sqlite3 in /tmp/deleteme.sqlite3]
  3. ./manage.py runserver
  4. browse to http://127.0.0.1:8000/overflow/?blog=1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789, expect to see "invalid" but instead get Django error page (OverflowError)
  5. browse to http://127.0.0.1:8000/overflow/?blog=foo, expect to see "invalid" but instead get Django error page (ValueError)

This is really the same problem as is noted in #9209. The last patch attached there proposes using a bare except since it's quite hard (if not impossible) to figure out all the different exceptions that may be caused by incorrect user input in this case. That patch also fixes up ModelMultipleChoiceFields, which have the same issue with bad user input.
