I've actually written a couple of basic apps in Django but today I thought I'd play around with doc tests and realised I didn't know as much as I thought I did. This is all done with latest trunk.
Let's take a model definition that has just the following: class PartType(models.Model): code = models.CharField(max_length=15) description = models.CharField(max_length=50) We can play around with this in the shell and do this: >>> pt = PartType() >>> pt.validate() {'code': [u'This field is required.'], 'description': [u'This field is required.']} Which is what we expect. These two fields are required. >>> pt.code='ACODE' >>> pt.description='A description' >>> pt.validate() {} >>> pt.save() All good, it validates and saves. Now let's give it something a little longer than it can't cope with. >>> pt.code='THISISLONGERTHANFIFTEENCHARS' >>> pt.validate() {} Odd - it validates but we know our code field can only be 15 characters. >>> pt.save() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/db/models/base.py", line 238, in save db_values + self._meta.pk.get_db_prep_lookup('exact', pk_val)) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/db/backends/util.py", line 18, in execute return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) ProgrammingError: value too long for type character varying(15) BANG! I'd be expecting for Django to tell me before postgres does, that the field does not validate. Am I misunderstanding something?
