Hi everyone,
Have run into either a bug or a lack of documentation, and wanted to
see the consensus here before posting a ticket.
When using a Model with an string foreign key (ie. for a second model
that appears after the referencing model), there's no way to make a
modelform work if it's placed before the second model.
For example,
from django.db import models
from django.forms import ModelForm
class Foo(models.Model):
bars = models.ForeignKey('Bar')
class FooForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Foo
class Bar(models.Model):
ibbity = models.CharField(max_length=255)
Will error with "AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute
'_meta'"
However, this will work perfectly fine:
class Foo(models.Model):
bars = models.ForeignKey('Bar')
class Bar(models.Model):
ibbity = models.CharField(max_length=255)
class FooForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Foo
Why this doesn't work makes sense to me, but it seems like it's either
missing in the docs (I couldn't find anything on this effect), or a
bug (if abstracted keys are ok for Foo, that ok should carry over to
FooForm).
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Steven
