Maybe this is because I use a symlink in my Apache configuration to serve
the media :
{{{
$ ls -l /var/www/mysite.domain.com/documents/
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 474 1 févr. 15:27 maintenance.html
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 26 juin 15:02 media ->
/data/media_mysite
drwxr-xr-x 6 myuser www-data 4096 16 mai 12:01 static
$ ls -l /data/media_mysite
total 8
drwxrwsr-x 3 myuser www-data 4096 13 févr. 10:13 stuffs
drwxrwsr-x 3 myuser www-data 4096 13 févr. 10:00 other_stuffs
}}}
But when I call delete() on an ImageField, if that very field is empty,
the symlink is wipped out!
{{{
$ python manage.py shell
In [1]: from myproject.myapp.models import MyModel
In [2]: obj = MyModel.objects.get(euid="21439011")
In [3]: obj.my_file
Out[3]: <FieldFile: None>
In [4]: obj.my_file.delete()
$ ls -l /var/www/mysite.domain.com/documents/
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 474 1 févr. 15:27 maintenance.html
drwxr-xr-x 6 myproject www-data 4096 16 mai 12:01 static
}}}
Should not an exception be raised here instead ?
