Description

First proper report here, sorry if I mess it up. I've been using some fairly advance subqueries since they were released but on upgrading a mature-ish 1.11 site to 2.0 I notice that some of these broke. I've distilled this down to a very simple pair of models and a test. This passes on SQLite, fails on Postgres 10 and 9.6. Worked on both in Django 1.11.

All I'm trying to do here is find Booking instances that have any Payments linked to them.

from django.db import models

class Booking(models.Model):
    pass

class Payment(models.Model):
    booking = models.ForeignKey('Booking', models.CASCADE)
from django.test import TestCase
from django.db.models import Exists, OuterRef

from .models import Booking, Payment

class AnnotateTestCase(TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.booking_one = Booking.objects.create()
        self.booking_two = Booking.objects.create()

        Payment.objects.create(booking=self.booking_one)

    def test_annotation(self):
        # find bookings with payments
        payment_query = Payment.objects.order_by().filter(booking=OuterRef('pk')).values('booking')
        booking_query = Booking.objects.all().annotate(has_payments=Exists(payment_query)).filter(has_payments=True)

        self.assertEqual(booking_query.count(), 1)

I've also tested the master branch. Same problem. Here's the trace.

I ran a bisect all the way back to 301de774c2 (April 17, when I knew it worked). I altered the test so that git bisect run would only consider a bad result one that contained a message about "explicit type casts". The first commit to break this was:

commit 08654a99bbdd09049d682ae57cc94241534b29f0
Author: Simon Charette <charette.s@gmail.com>

    Fixed #28492 -- Defined default output_field of expressions at the class level.
    
    This wasn't possible when settings were accessed during Field initialization
    time as our test suite setup script was triggering imports of expressions
    before settings were configured.

I'm really quite a distance out of my comfort zone here —I don't usually spend this much time in the guts of Django— so even looking at the bisect visualisation, I'm not sure what change actually broke this. Still, I hope this helps.

This can be worked around by explicitly casting with output_field . The following works:

Booking.objects.all().annotate(has_payments=Exists(payment_query, output_field=BooleanField())).filter(has_payments=True)

... But it shouldn't be necessary.

Hey Oli, thank you for your report!

I'm not sure what is at play here but if you bisected the issue to this commit and it's possible to work around it using an explicit output_field it's probably an issue with expression cloning.

Would it be possible to include the fully generated queries that crashes on PostgreSQL, it should be doable using the --debug-sql flag to the test command.

I didn't reproduce but accepting based on the detailed error report.

I figured it out.

Thank you, Simon. I really appreciate you picking this up so fast and fixing it.

I've tested your branch and it does fix my little test harness too.

Resolution: fixed
Status: assignedclosed

In 277ed072:

Fixed #29195 -- Fixed Exists.output_field resolution on single-valued queries.

The Subquery class which Exists inherits from defaulted to using single-valued
querie's field if no output_field was explicitly specified on initialization
which was bypassing the Exists.output_field defined at the class level.

Moving Subquery's dynamic output_field resolution to _resolve_output_field
should make sure the fallback logic is only performed if required.

Regression in 08654a99bbdd09049d682ae57cc94241534b29f0.

Thanks Oli Warner for the detailed report.
