hi what software/library do you recommend for automatic pdf generation (in Django obviously)?

Check out awesome-django packages...plenty of options there

Ok

Check out awesome-django packages...plenty of options there

nothing :(

Lol...the whole package site has nothing on pdfs??

NO THING

but i found some old packages that i don't need

Well, that's a first 😅 Although I meant the actual site....not the github repo.

Weasyprint converts html to pdf and is really easy to use, but it has few dependencies and I found some limitations which I ended up solving with ReportLab which is a bit harder to use but works quite nice

MMMMM i also thought of xhtml2pdf.pisa

Not used it, so can’t compare with options I mentioned :)

ok, i'll try whatever this afternoon

Recommend that you use something that guys use a lot in their projects...using some obscure package means it will be harder finding help if your app breaks

@Inchidi can advise

Do you guys build in the main project name or do you make apps for everything and mostly leave the projecname/samename dir alone ?

An apps folder inside project folder

Read ( if you haven't already done it ) what pydanny suggests about project structure inside 2 Scoops of Django

I did, but the thing is the front page, it pulls information from many apps, so I am wondering if I should create a "frontpage" app or Site or what ever to put the "about" "faq" and so on or just throw it in the "main" dir

Mmm I don't think that's an app It's just a template

That needs a view ;)

dilemmas... Ill use the "main" and move it if it becomes more than views ...

That needs a view ;)

Yep but just a TemplateView You could put it into main urls file imho

How will i get the data I need from the models?

Ah ok I didn't understand you need data , sorry 😅

haha, thats fine ;) Everything is dynamic hehe.

But as long as I am just gathering data i dont think its messy to ue the "main app".

I'd create a specific app if I plan to reuse it etc. etc.

hm, maybe...

Hi guys :) I've got a testing problem. I test with Client() if I want to control my context dictionary, my view creates. (response.context) Here I can not put a User in the request. So no function in the view function can get the user I need to get. (?) // And I test with RequestFactory() if I want to put a User in my "request" which I can put in my view function. Unfortunately with RequestFactory() I can not controle any context dictionary. Does anybody have a good practice how I can put a user in the request as well as control the generated context of my view-function?

maybe try share some snippets of your code to make it more clear what i get is you want to login as certain user while using Client() ? how about login()

maybe this will help you, this is how my django project structure usually looks like https://gist.github.com/DimasInchidi/d3c534bdb2362aca295d3e75a95b288f

## View: def viewName(request, x_ID): pass user_ID = request.user.id context_DIC = {'contextKey': 'contextValue', 'user_ID':user_ID} return render(request, 'xxx.html', context_DIC) ## Testcase: @pytest.mark.django_db(transaction=True) def test_x(): user = User.objects.get_by_natural_key(username='Testuser2@xxx.com') url = reverse('appName:viewName', kwargs={'x_ID': 1}) request = RequestFactory().post( path = url, data=context_DICT, ) request.user = user response = viewName(request, x_ID=1) assert response.context_data['contextKey'] == 'contextValue'

This is my code. And this is the error:

Use pastebin pls or dpaste

assert response.context_DIC['xxx_STR'] == 'xxx' AttributeError: 'HttpResponse' object has no attribute 'context'

It's easier to read

Oh ok. I try to do that^^ One moment.

https://pastebin.com/GuCdymmy

assert response.context_DIC['xxx_STR'] == 'xxx' AttributeError: 'HttpResponse' object has no attribute 'context'

if this exactly how the error you get, then i think you are sharing wrong piece of your code

I tryed to alienate the code a little bit. I'll do it better. I'll send a new pastebin snipped which works.

https://pastebin.com/25Kp8Jfh

I have run the snipped and it raise now exactly the error which is also in the snipped.

i give redirect to home if login success but it redirects to login page can't figure out here is the code

can't login with correct id,pwd

Try putting print statements

And debug

Try to print user

Will let you know if it is null

i tried but login is correct or incorrect it won't do any process just refresh the login page

Is the user null?

What happens when you print user

if user == 'isnull': print(user) else: return redirect('home')

redirect home

LOL https://weasyprint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#windows

I am going to use weasyprint for pdf generation and im reading the docs "Of course you can decide to install ancient WeasyPrint versions with an erstwhile Python, combine it with outdated GTK+ libraries on any Windows version you like, but if you decide to do that you’re on your own, don’t even try to report an issue, kittens will die because of you."

Try pip install django to install latest version

You better to install all the setup config inside the environment and save to the file requirements.txt file by using the pip freeze > requirements.txt
