Ok, some experimentation has yielded that the problem lies here:
def photoDir(self, filename):
"Callable method used to set directory of media below"
return os.path.join('pet_photos', str(self.pet.id), filename)
Basically what seems to be happening is that it tries to save the file
and then continue on to the post save(commit=False) bits.
Unfortunately in my case, when saving the file, it looks at the pet.id
so I can save the image in say /media/pet_photos/1/ so I have all the
photos related to a pet in the same directory but I haven't set it
yet.
Anyone have any suggestions on a way around this? I was thinking of
having a hidden field but still changing it post save(commit=False) to
avoid a user changing it but that just seems unelegant and I also
can't see a way to set the default value for the hidden field. (adding
defalt=whatever on the forms.CharField() doesn't seem to work)
