Example data errors

[jondbaker]

When trying to view /docs/example/<resource_name>/ I receive a DatabaseError:

no such table: tastypie_apikey

... in the browser.

I am generating api_key objects in a receiver function for the 'post_save.connect' signal on the 'auth_models.User' model. If I disable the receiver connection, I receive:

Error: Unknown command: 'migrate'

followed by a 500 error notification in the terminal.

[juanique]

Are you using django-south?

[jondbaker]

django-south is installed in my virtualenv, but I've yet to install it within my django application (but will soon).

[juanique]

Could you post a full stacktrace?

mmmh /home/jondbaker/python/virtualenvs/stratos_env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/south/hacks/django_1_0.py... that doesn't look right.

Maybe there's an issue when south is installed on the python env but not as a django auth?

[jondbaker]

Jackpot. Strange error since south isn't even installed... Your suggestion took care of the 'migrations' error, but then I received:

Exception at /docs/example/support-ticket/
Could not mockup data for SupportTicket.uuid <class 'django_extensions.db.fields.UUIDField'>

I verified that if I delete the referenced uuid field on the SupportTicket model then everything works like a charm.

[juanique]

That happens when django-chocolate cannot create a value for SupportTicket.uuid. What type of field is it?

[jondbaker]

UUIDField from the django-extensions app: https://github.com/django-extensions/django-extensions

[juanique]

Yeah, the solution for that is provide your own mock generator for that value. That feature is well supported on django-chocolate (the lib used by django-tastydocs to generate the examples) but I'm not sure if it's well integrated with tastytocs. I'll try to take a look at that during the week. You can always try to poke around it by yourself.

[jondbaker]

Yeah I'll definitely take a look myself. Thanks for the timely responses and the work you've put in on this.
