Re: [web2py] Re: How do you organize your applications to be unit-tested?
You're right, Richard, but I was asking how you organize your production code, not your test code. What is your strategies to isolate components to achieve a better unit-testing scenario? -- Vinicius Assef On 10/04/2012 12:49 PM, Richard Vézina wrote: I am reading actually about unit testing and doctest in docstring should be pretty small, as a rule of thumb it should be less longer than you docstring documentation. But, it says too that it pretty convenient to have at least one doctest in docstring since it could help a lot in identifying outdated docstring since if you refactor you code without touch you docstring your doctest should failed so you know you are good for a bit of documentation pleasure. I read too that docstring can be kept apart the docstring a .txt file, so the long unit test should go there. So when doctest help you better understand and document the purpose of the code and if it is short it should go in docstring if it get bloated you can move it in .txt file apart.

[web2py] Global formstyle configuration
I think it would be nice to have some global configs in web2py.
One of them is formstyle.
It's unpleasant to define formstyle in every FORM definition.
This formstyle config could come in db.py like Auth configs.
So, once defined my app formstyle, it should be used as default. But in
a specific FORM, I could override it, according to my needs.
Any oppinion?

[web2py] Classes in markmin
I'm in charge to find a good solution to document some projects and I faced markdown, reST and markmin. I found this thread from about 1 year ago: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/web2py/driLl6I8K64 Comparing reST with markmin, I observed reST creates div to encapsulate lists, sections, etc. We can benefit of this approach to customize presentations with CSS. What does markmin do about it? I know Web2py book app is written to support markmin and to publish the book on the web. But do we have some sphinx-like tool to generate static html files from markmin? -- Vinicius Assef --

[web2py] Is 2.0.2 or 2.0.3 really a stable version?
First of all, I'd like to thank you all. You're making a great job, guys.
I see web2py becoming more reliable to bigger projects and I'm very
pleased with it.
You all rock! :-)
In spite of this huge effort, isn't it premature to call 2.0.2 or even
2.0.3 stable? I know there were several months of hard work, but if we
have bugs detected so fast, we cannot call it stable yet, right?
Maybe some release candidate call or a pre-release period for tests,
before spreading it as stable would help us.

I am sure we'll find some corners that need to be ironed but it is
considerably better than 1.99.7. It adds lot of new features and
improves many existing ones:
- 57,000 new lines of code and closed 279 issues since 1.99.7.
- Retrieving data from DB should be faster, in particular
select(cacheable=True)
- Has a new scheduler, a built-in wiki, new language and
pluralization system, better markmin with oembed support and better
scaffolding app, increased security.
- Lots of experimental features including GIS support, mongodb
support, built-in auth.wiki(), and more.
Should be 100% backward compatible. If you run into any issue let us
know ASAP.
I personally want to thank the major contributors to this release
(in alphabetic order)
Alan, Andrew, Anthony, Bruno, Christian, Dave, Dominic, Iceberg,
Jonathan, Marc, Mariano, Marin, Martin, Mark, Michael, Michele,
Niphlod, Patrick, Vladyslav,
They spend many nights testing, coding, debugging at a very fast pace.
Many many people have contributed.
If your contribution has not been properly acknowledged please let
us know ASAP. It is probably an oversight.

Re: [web2py] Is 2.0.2 or 2.0.3 really a stable version?
See, guys, I'm not blaming anyone and I'm not saying Web2py is not good, or your work failed. I pay my bills working with web2py for the last year. I use it for 3 years, now. I really like that and help spread the word. Web2py has so much features and it is impossible to test everything. Sorry, but I cannot agree with this statement. Is it the official position? Remember, one of the strengths is our backward compatibility. It can be achieved with detailed tests **before** anouncing a new stable release. Stable means: you can download and just use it. Anything different is almost stable or buggy yet or, using beautiful words, release candidate or pre-release version. I'd like to hear your oppinions. -- Vinicius Assef On 08/31/2012 09:01 AM, Marin Pranjić wrote: It is called stable since no one using trunk/nightly build detected those errors.

But as with any software (particularly as complex as a web framework), it's not possible to test every conceivable permutation of functionality a user might implement. We have to rely on reports of bugs found in the wild to some extent. Stable means: you can download and just use it.

Re: [web2py] Re: How do larger teams develop with Web2py?
Luc, I don't see that. Web2py allows your team to work colaboratively. We work this way in our company. By the way, I'd say some characteristics enforce this separation. In Django, for example, you must have your routes planned and templates coded to allow programmers to work. Without them, you cannot see any running code. In Web2py you can quick off immediately because you don't need to plan urls in advance and you have default views. This way, your frontend devs can be disconnected from your backend devs. Later, you can worry about standardized urls and don't change anything in your app. We're working this way with great success. -- Vinicius Assef On 08/09/2012 01:25 PM, Luc Chase wrote: Must admit site is funny; I almost bought the t-shirt.

I was a Django programmer (although never a Django contributor) and I have developed web sites for the United Nations in Django. I have taught Django here at DePaul University. I started web2py as a teaching because I found the learning curve with Django was too steep. Moreover when web2py was created Django was not the same as today. It did not have the template escaping on by default (web2py did), it had a bug in CSRF protection (web2py's one always worked), did not have migration (still does not but now there is third party solution), did not support multiple database connections (there was as Django fork but it took long time to be merged), did not support multiple projects (web2py always did), did not support left joins and aggregates (web2py always did). Django always supported less database engine than web2py (and some not very well, for example web2py generates better SQL code for pagination in Oracle). Django always had and still has a more polised and customizable admin (equivalent to web2py's appadmin) and a better interface for many-to-many relations. They are philosophically differences: Django preferes explicit is better than implicit so you have do define lots of boilerplate web2py says do not repeat yourself so you have lots of default behavior (magic?) but documented and backward compatible. Other communities have used various arguments to criticize some web2py's design decisions. All design decisions have pros and cons. Some of the criticism has legs and some has not. What is important is that those decisions were not motivated by ignorance but by carefully considering the alternatives. As a result of those design decision web2py is the only framework that allows hot install and uninstall of apps without restarting the web server (with any web server) and supports multiple projects under one web2py instance without library conflicts. I also want to stress that our community is very friendly. We have always shown great respect for other people's work and we have tried to learn from them.

Re: [web2py] Re: Complex query with left outer join
Indeed, pbreit. Did you check if your SQL query is correct? print db._lastsql would help, too. Baby steps, baby. Baby steps. -- Vinicius Assef On 07/25/2012 01:58 PM, pbreit wrote: I don't really understand what you're trying to do but I would recommend trying to simplify. First, you don't always need to do a join or a left join. Try to figure out if those are really necessary. For example, do you really need to join the questions and the progress or can you retrieve those separately? Second, you're only selecting for two fields. That may be OK but I would suggest selecting for all fields (ie, delete db.userCard.id,db.card.id, from select()). If you want to optimize *after* you get it working, then you can do so. Third, working with datetime and DB can be difficult. Try to get the query working before adding a timedate query component. When I build a complex query, I start with one query, make it work, then add a query, make it work, and so on. -- --

Re: [web2py] Re: Visit Plugow on FISL13
Sure, Massimo. You go to http://labs.agenciax4.com.br/fisl13 , log in with your twitter or fb and get a QRCode. After that, you head to our totem, show your qrcode (what identifies you on it) and record a video. This video is converted and uploaded to our youtube account with your name on it and your timeline is updated with video address. So, your followers (and friends) click on it and watch your published video. Besides that, our totem is used to entertainment, interacting via qrcodes. Eash screen is a web2py page, running in a firefox with some plugins to show it in kiosk mode. They play music, video or show images and/or text pages. Our core app is based fully on web2py. Our server and its interaction with totem, too. So, it is.

Yes, they are default settings.
It's quite strange you get empty strings instead null (None, in Python).
How are you inserting data into db? Are you using a SQLFORM or
my_table.validate_and_insert() or simply mytable.insert()?
Do you get same results (blank values) inserting it from web2py shell

But I am working in a system develop returning locals() from all

affect that view. Mainly the bigger ones.
It's good to be explicit whenever possible.

Remember web2py, by default, store passwords crypted (see CRYPT validator). If it's not your scenario, you'll need to override this implementation. A few months ago I needed to customize Auth. I inherited from the original and implemented my own methods like loging user in without password (in a very special situation), and registering them making integration with other tables. By the way, you'll need to check if the web2py RBAC is enough for you. Maybe you'll have to make it use tables used today by your legacy system. So, I recommend you to customize Auth and enjoy all web2py authentication and authorization infrastructure. -- Vinicius Assef On 07/05/2012 06:04 PM, Jerry wrote: Hello, We have a legacy Cold Fusion app running off a MS SQL db server and plan to gradually move functionality from CF to web2py. Both systems will run concurrently, accessing the same db. Thanks to the web2py (awesome piece of software! thank you Massimo and the other contributors!) DAL, we can access the legacy database no problem. The db has a User table with fields like: FirstName, LastName, Email, Password etc. The field names do not match the names used in web2py auth.settings.table_user_name (first_name, last_name, email, passwd etc.) We would love to use web2py Auth for login/register/profile forms, decoration of controller actions with @auth, and handling password resets. It looks like there will be a lot of customization of the Auth settings to get it to work with our legacy database. The only alternative I can think of is not using Auth at all. Everything custom - our own login form, register page, password reset - and we don't get @auth. decorators. What would you recommend? I'm guessing this has been done before but I haven't found a solution. Is there another way of doing this that makes more sense? Thanks in advance, Jerry.
Re: [web2py] conditional models requires check if table already exists for db admin to work
Use this pattern below everywhere you define a table:
if not 'mytable' in db.tables:
db.define_table('mytable', ...)
I always use it.

In my project I use conditional models since I have a lot of tables.
However I have a problem since one of the database tables (defined in a
conditional model) has to be defined in another conditional model
here an example
/models/plugin_restapidoc/plugin_restapidoc.py
/models/wizard/wizard.py
/models/wizard/plugin_restapidoc.py
plugin_restapidoc.py contains the same table definition,
the table is used in the wizard and in the plugin_restapidoc controller
this works fine, but fails when i call the db appadmin
my workaround so far is
models/db.py:
PLUGIN_RESTAPIDOC_DEFINED = False
/models/plugin_restapidoc/plugin_restapidoc.py:
PLUGIN_RESTAPIDOC_DEFINED = True
/models/wizard/plugin_restapidoc.py:
if PLUGIN_RESTAPIDOC_DEFINED:
define table ...
I wonder if there is a better solution, e.g. one without
the PLUGIN_RESTAPIDOC_DEFINED variable
e.g.
if db.tables.has_key('plugin_restapidoc_table'):
define table ...
or even better a fix in the appadmin
Re: [web2py] DAL : fill with zeroes a specific field before insert / update
Remember requires property is not used when you just insert(),
update() or update_record().
So, in Web2py you don't have anything like a db trigger. You could do it
using a custom validator like CLEANUP() and using validate_and_insert()
or validate_and_update() in substitution of regular insert() or update().

Hello,
I have a field defined as below :
Field('id_indra', length=5, label=T('ID Indra'), notnull=False,
requires=[REQUIRED, MAX_5, IS_MATCH(r'^[a-zA-Z0-9]{5}$')])
Is it is possible to intercept all inserts / updates over this field and
do a zfill() before the accion takes place? So, if the field is '5',
they it would be completed with zeroes with a result of '5' before
insert / update.
Thanks in advance

[web2py] How to change a form.vars.field value after validation?
Hi guys.
I'm facing a problem I didn't find a pure web2py solution.
I have a SQLFORM.factory() with some fields, including one captcha field.
Every time the form is showed, the input captcha field must be empty.
The form may have error in other fields and the captcha could be filled
right, but a new one is generated every time the form is showed. As
password fields, the captcha must be always presented empty to the user.
So, I tried to do form.vars.captcha = '' just before my return
dict(form=form), but the value user filled in keeps showing.
I also tried playing with form.request_vars.captcha but unsuccessfull again.
I found a workaround hardcoding the INPUT tag in my view, instead of
{{=form.custom.widget.captcha}} as I usually do with other fields.
Does anybody has any suggestion about it? How to change a
form.vars.field value after validation?
I think a custom validator would solve my problem. But I think it
shouldn't be necessary in a so simple cenario.
