FilePathField

[biggosh]

I tried to use this field in the model and rest framework always raises an error:

init() missing 1 required positional argument: 'path'

Is this field type supported?

Thanks

@biggosh could you perhaps share what your model and serializer look like?

[biggosh]

Sorry for the delay. This is the the serializer and the original model.
Thanks

class TemplatesSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Templates

class Templates(models.Model):
    # file_path = models.CharField(max_length=1000, null=False, blank=False)
    file_path = models.FilePathField(path="tmp")
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=False, blank=False)
    description = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True)
    code = models.CharField(max_length=10, null=False, blank=False)
    owner = models.ForeignKey('auth.User', related_name='templates')

    def __str__(self):
        return self.title

@biggosh we're probably not passing along the model field's definition along to the mapped serializer field. Could you try explicitly setting the field in your serializer like so:

class TemplatesSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    file_path = serializers.FilePathField(path='tmp')

    class Meta:
        model = Templates

[biggosh]

Ok, now it's working.

thanks

Although there's a work around it appears that this issue isn't resolved until we do deal with the above, right?

[jpadilla]

@tomchristie sure thing. I'll get to it.

[jpadilla]

@tomchristie should we map all of the field's options: path, match, recursive, allow_folders, and max_length?

[tomchristie]

I guess whichever we support, yeah.
