#10127 closed (fixed)

select_related does not play well with annotate

Description

This is with the latest trunk version. If you use select_related() with a query that does an aggegation over a ManyToMany relationship, the resulting fields get mixed up.

This is best demonstrated by a modification in the aggregates.py test:

With this modification, the test fails this way:

What version of Django are you using? A similar ticket was filed about a week ago, and was subsequently fixed, if you haven't done svn up in a few days please try that and report back.

comment:2 by Sylvain Pasche <sylvain.pasche@…>, 16 years ago

I'm using trunk of today ([9791], Windows, Python 2.5), so looks like ticket:10064 didn't fix it. Maybe ticket:10086 is the same, but the testcase was not clear.

FWIW I can reproduce this with r9791:

  • On win32 with Python 2.5.2 + its bundled SQLite stuff (3.3.4 / sqlite3 module is 3.3.2) and with MySQL-python 1.2.2
  • On Debian (stable/Etch) with both:
    • Python 2.4.4 + MySQL-python 1.2.1p2, SQLite and Postgres (see below for more info)
    • Python 2.5 + MySQL-python 1.2.2 and and its sqlite3 module

On Debian, SQLite version is always 3.3.8, pysqlite/sqlite3 is 2.3.2.

MySQL version is always 5.0.32, MyISAM storage engine.

Under Debian, using python-psycopg2 2.0.5.1 against Postgres 8.1 it also fails but with an exception:

I also reported some errors in #10113. The group by problem on Postgres was fixed, but the wrong results on sqlite are caused by an sqlite bug (mine was 3.3.4). If you upgrade your sqlite, you shouldn't get wrong results no more.

I guess this should be documented somewhere or made to fail loud.

(In [9805]) Fixed #10127 -- Corrected handling of select_related() in annotate() calls. Thanks to Sylvain Pasche <sylvain.pasche@…> for the report and test case.

Thanks for the fix. There is still an issue when using both select_related and annotate. The ForeignKey fields are not populated correctly.

With the attached patch, I'm getting the following error (which does not happen when I remove the select_related()):

File "[...]aggregation_regress\models.py", line ?, in regressiontests.aggregation_regress.models.__test__.API_TESTS
Failed example:
    sorted([b.publisher.name for b in books])

Resolution: fixed
Status: reopenedclosed

(In [9808]) Fixed #10127 -- Corrected (no, really, this time!) the way the select_related() cache is populated when annotations are also contained in the query. Thanks to Sylvain Pasche <sylvain.pasche@…> for the report and test case.
