The only difference between my code and yours is that I am not using
sessions. Might it be the reason why my query is not working as expected?
Here is my query one more time:
monthly_events = current_user.followed_events().filter(Event.event_date <
datetime.today().date()).filter(func.strftime('%m', Event.event_date) ==
datetime.today().strftime('%m')).order_by(Event.timestamp.desc())
Again, this is the problem the query is trying to solve. I want to know the
subscribed events (events that I am following) that took place in the
current month. This is irrespective of whether they took place 5 years ago,
or a year ago, so long as they took place in the current month.
However, the query gives no events that took place in the current month,
yet I have events that indeed took place in April (the current month). The
current month is to be automated, which I have successfully accomplished
through *datetime.today().strftime('%m')*.
By breaking the query into sections, I was able to know where the problem
is. The section of the query:
*current_user.followed_events().filter(Event.event_date
< datetime.today().date())*gives all events that have passed (yesterday and
beyond). This part works correctly.
The section: *current_user.followed_events().filter(Event.event_date <
datetime.today().date()).order_by(Event.timestamp.desc())*arranges these
past events in descending order and this section works correctly, as well.
However, the part with problem is: .filter(func.strftime('%m',
Event.event_date) == datetime.today().strftime('%m'))where the aim is to
filter out events that took place in the current month, irrespective of the
year they took place.
Note that I have imported the following modules from sqlalchemy import func
and from datetime import datetimeat the top of the routes.py.
The *event_date* field in the *models.py* is stored as a *db.DateTime* with
a *default = datetime.utcnow*. I am using Flask, with *SQLite* db, but will
change it to *Postgresql* later.
I hope the information is enough, otherwise let me know if additional
information is needed.
