Hello,
I am implementing a RESTful API and have the following code in my POST
handler:
ret = db.recording.validate_and_insert(**fixed_fields)
if ret.errors:
raise HTTP(400, 'Validation failed: ' + str(ret.errors))
url = URL('api', args=('recording',ret.id))
response.headers['Location'] = url
response.status = 201
return dict(link=A('Recording ', ret.id, _href=url))
On success, things work as expected. However, if I omit a required field,
none of my code after validate_and_insert() is called. The client receives
a HTTP 200 response as if all is well, albeit with an appropriate text
description of the error.
This is not how validate_and_insert() is described in chapter 6 of the
book. Is there a reason it is different?
As a work around I added a try-except block around the
validate_and_insert() call, expecting an HTTP exception, but discovered it
is actually a RuntimeError exception.
Is this the recommended work around or is there a better solution?
I browsed through the code, but it isn't clear to me where the exception is
thrown. However, I believe I noticed two typos in the
"validate_and_insert, validate_and_update" section:"ret.error" should be
"ret.errors" and "res.updated" should be "ret.updated".
BTW, I am running 2.5.1-stable+timestamp.2013.06.06.15.39.19 on
Apache/2.2.16 (Debian)
Thanks for your help,
Chris
