DRF serializer.save() not saving to database
I have an api that will do a patch on a resource (MyUser). It validates ok and seems to save the object, however when querying the database the changes have not been saved.
class UserSignupView(generics.UpdateAPIView):
serializer_class = MyUserSerializer
def get_object(self, email):
obj = MyUser.objects.get(email=email)
self.check_object_permissions(self.request, obj)
return obj
def patch(self, request):
print(request.user)
user = self.get_object(request.user.email)
print(user.street)
serializer = MyUserSerializer(user, data=request.data, partial=True)
serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True)
serializer.save()
savedUser = MyUser.objects.get(email=request.user.email)
print(savedUser.street)
print(serializer.data)
return Response(serializer.data)
class MyUserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = MyUser
fields = (
'id', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'phone_number', 'street', 'locality', 'city',
'county', 'postcode')
Looking at the print statements I get:
user@example.com
None
123 Fake Street
MyUser object
It returns the correct serialised data which contains the changes but the database does not have the changes. The database connection is ok as I can query it and make other reads/writes/etc. It's pretty much the same as the UpdateModelMixin except I've had to override the get_object with a passed in parameter.

Sinceprint(savedUser.street)prints the street correctly, your data is saved to the database. Where do you see that the object isn't saved?

That's not possible, you're looking in a wrong way.MyUser.objects.get(email=request.user.email)gives you a fresh object fetched from the database.

I know, this is why I'm confused. I'm looking at the django admin page and at the actual database and they are both missing the value for street that gets printed out

How isMyUserdefined? And are you looking at the DjangoUseror atMyUser?
