Message submission broken #4

Closed SamBartrum closed 8 years ago

SamBartrum commented 8 years ago

Message submission is now no longer working. No idea why.

Getting "NOT NULL constraint failed: anarxiv_app_post.user_id" error. So I think this may be linked to Jack's work.

Looks like the Post model takes a one-to-one relation to a user-id. The problem is on line 192 in views.py, which now needs to get a username from the request and pass that through to the Post constructor.

I don’t know how user IDs are handled in the rest of the project. Is this known from context? Is there a session cookie for each user?

SamBartrum commented 8 years ago

Yeah I figured that was the issue. You also need to attach the post to a specific paper object (which is straightforward). Leaving the user attribute out of the model works for now.

I'm not sure how Users will work (they are not really implemented yet - just the models set up), I'll have to think about it. I imagine you'll have to have some sort of user-id which is passed back and forth between the server and the client through post requests.

If I remember correctly, django stores the user id in the cookies by default. The request object has a property request.user which returns a user object.

Flip, that is useful.

Shall we set up a slack page for anarxiv rather than using email?
