[BUG] ModelSchema with OneToOneField relation error

[gabrielfgularte]

Describe the bug Models that are OneToOne related are producing an RelatedObjectDoesNotExist error using ModelSchema.

# models.py
class User(models.Model):
    email = models.EmailField(unique=True)

class Account(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    username = models.CharField(max_length=15)

    @property
    def full_repr(self):
        return f'{self.username} <{self.user.email}>'

# schemas.py
class AccountSchema(ModelSchema):
    full_repr: str = None

    class Config:
        model = Account
        model_exclude = ['id', 'user']

class UserSchema(ModelSchema):
    account: AccountSchema = None

    class Config:
        model = User

# routes.py
class AuthBearer(HttpBearer):
    def authenticate(self, request, token):
        token = get_session(key)
        if token:
            return get_object_or_404(User, pk=token.user_id, is_active=True)

@router.get('/', auth=AuthBearer(), response=UserSchema)
def user_detail(request):
    return request.user

as quick glance I see that you have

user as required (null=False) on Account

    user = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

but in schema it accepts None:

    account: AccountSchema = None

also Account was not created for the user - that is general source of the error

I guess you need to have some code that automatically creates account for each created user or something (or use null=True)

[gabrielfgularte]

Got you. My project assumes that a user can live without an account. So an account can be created later. I'll try with null=True. Thank you very much!

[gabrielfgularte]

@vitalik Same issue with null=True in the user field =/

[gabrielfgularte]

I have a workaround. If I put a resolver on the Schema using hasattr it works:

class UserSchema(ModelSchema):
    account: Optional[AccountSchema] = None

    class Config:
        model = User

    @staticmethod
    def resolve_account(obj):
        if hasattr(obj, 'account'):
            return obj.account
        return None

[vitalik]

yeah, I guess this is the best solution for now for OneToOneField case

[rkulinski]

Are there any plans to tackle this?

[vitalik]

Are there any plans to tackle this?

@rkulinski the resolve_ seems working good here ? what's your vision ?

maybe this also can work

class User(models.Model):
    email = models.EmailField(unique=True)

    def get_account(self):
         if hasattr(obj, 'account'):
            return obj.account

...

class UserSchema(ModelSchema):
    account: Optional[AccountSchema] = Field(None, alias='get_account')

the problem with automating this is that we cannot be sure of developer mind here if onetoone relations must be enforced or optional at runtime

[rkulinski]

That's how we work around this.
