#11096 closed Bug (worksforme)

.values including related fields does not work when specified after an aggregate's .annotate

Description

Using the following models:

class Author(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

class Book(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    author = models.ForeignKey(Author, related_name="books")

This query results in an exception:

Book.objects.annotate(num_authors=Count('author')).filter(num_authors__gt=1).values('author__name')

It looks like the GROUP BY clause of the resulting sql is not getting set correctly. This only seems to happen when .values comes after .annotate.

This doesn't appear to affect sqlite, but is still a problem for postgresql using trunk. However, the problem rests with Django's ORM, because if annotate comes after values then the SQL is correct. I assume that postgres is simply stricter in what it accepts. A simple test query, using the models in the ticket:

Book.objects.annotate(num_authors=Count('author')).values('author__name')

produces the following SQL:

SELECT "tester_author"."name"
FROM "tester_book"
INNER JOIN "tester_author" ON ("tester_book"."author_id" = "tester_author"."id")
GROUP BY "tester_book"."id",
         "tester_book"."name",
         "tester_book"."author_id"

And raises

ProgrammingError: column "tester_author.name" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function

However, putting the annotate clause at the end results in the correct ""GROUP BY"" clause:

SELECT "tester_author"."name", COUNT("tester_book"."author_id") AS "num_authors"
FROM "tester_book"
INNER JOIN "tester_author" ON ("tester_book"."author_id" = "tester_author"."id")
GROUP BY "tester_author"."name"

I think this problem is related to tickets #10060 and #12608.

Cannot reproduce (tried back to the current stable/1.4.x branch). I assume it's been fixed since the report.
