I’m making django app which allow me to study. It has multiple tests with multiple question each. Every question has one correct answer. I’m trying to make form which allow me to edit answer If I made mistake in passing correct answer during making question.
That’s what I have already made:
models.py class Question(models.Model): text = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True) test = models.ForeignKey(Test, on_delete=models.CASCADE) created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add = True) def get_answer(self): return self.answer_set.all() def __str__(self): return self.text class Answer(models.Model): text = models.CharField(max_length=200) question = models.ForeignKey(Question, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='parent') def __str__(self): return self.text
forms.py class AnswerEditForm(ModelForm): class Meta: model = Answer exclude = ('question',)
views.py def UpdateAnswerView(request, pk): form = AnswerEditForm() if request.method == 'POST': form = AnswerEditForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): obj = form.save(commit=False) obj.question = Question.objects.get(id=pk) obj.save() return redirect('home') context = {'form':form} return render(request, 'exam/update_answer.html', context)
urls.py urlpatterns = [ ~some other urls~ path('answer/edit/<int:pk>/', views.UpdateAnswerView, name='update-answer'), ]
while I’m trying to edit answer i’m getting Question matching query does not exist.
error.
Where did i make mistake ?

Probably pk
is None
.
it is better you check your pk
def UpdateAnswerView(request, pk): form = AnswerEditForm() if request.method == 'POST' and pk is not None: form = AnswerEditForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): obj = form.save(commit=False) try: obj.question = Question.objects.get(id=pk) obj.save() return redirect('home') except Question.DoesNotExist: pass context = {'form':form} return render(request, 'exam/update_answer.html', context)
