Description (last modified by shangdahao)

Summary

Given a model with a foreign key field "foo", it would be helpful if Django warned users when they include a property in the model named "foo_id" in the same model.

Steps To Reproduce

  • Implement a relationship that looks like Exhibit A
  • Create an instance of Bar using .create or FactoryBoy.
  • Observe the following stack trace that occurs in Exhibit B

Expected Results
As a Django user, I expect the framework to warn me with a helpful error if I name a property method that doesn't play nice with Django's ORM.

// Exhibit A

class Foo(models.Model):
  pass

class Bar(models.Model):
  foo = models.ForeignKey(Foo)

  @property
  def foo_id(self):
    return self.foo.id
// Exhibit B
