#27179: Bug: error when trying to filter using regex/iregex on a key in a django.contrib.postgres.fields.JSONField ----------------------------------+------------------ Reporter: jrhouston | Owner: Type: Bug | Status: new Component: contrib.postgres | Version: 1.10 Severity: Normal | Keywords: Triage Stage: Unreviewed | Has patch: 0 Easy pickings: 1 | UI/UX: 0 ----------------------------------+------------------ When trying use regex to query on a key within a postgres JSONField.
{{{ TestModel.objects.filter(field__subkey__regex=r'test') }}} Generates SQL which produces the following error: {{{ LINE 1: ...WHERE "test_testmodel"."field" -> 'subkey'::text ~ 'test' ^ HINT: No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You might need to add explicit type casts. }}} This seems to be a precedence issue, and adding parenthesis before the extracted key is cast to `::text` allows the query to run successfully. i.e: {{{ WHERE ("test_testmodel"."field" -> 'subkey')::text ~ 'test' }}} Adding the parenthesis here seems to fix the issue: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/postgres/fields/jsonb.py#L109 -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/27179> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
