UnboundLocalError: local variable 'key_cls' referenced before assignment #232

federicobond · 2019-04-26T12:36:55Z

I found this failure in my CI logs, but could not reproduce it locally. The corresponding code looks wrong but I don't know exactly how to correct it. If I can be of any help fixing it let me know.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

atodorov · 2019-04-26T13:42:11Z

Can you update to 2.0.9 and see if it reproduces.

Also we'll need a code snippet which is triggering the error otherwise there's nothing we can do.

atodorov · 2019-04-26T13:43:35Z

@prokher from #229 (comment)

Just received the same error in 2.0.9.

Please don't comment on closed issues, we are bound to miss them. Also post a reproducer.

CC @imomaliev

imomaliev · 2019-04-27T02:57:08Z

@federicobond Hi, could you provide a code snippet that fails?

@carlio @prokher does it also occur on 2.0.8?

federicobond · 2019-04-29T15:38:56Z

I could not reproduce this again, however, now I have another error with 2.0.9. I will open an issue soon.

zout · 2019-05-01T12:05:25Z

I can confirm that we still have the issue with 2.0.9, and already had it with 2.0.8.

@zout this traceback is useless without a code snippet to reproduce the problem. As you can see from our test suite we've added some code samples for the use-cases we could think of. When you see a failure for something that apparently works in CI you have to provide us with a reproducer.

So far the entire discussion and "me too" comments here are useless because we don't have a reproducer and we can't do anything else to debug. If you want this fixed provide us with a code snippet that causes the crash.

I've did some checking, and it seems that I have to import the model in the scope to make it work.
So:
generated_app = models.ForeignKey('App', default=None, null=True, blank=True, on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING) this code works without importing actual App into the scope because I have a __init__.py where everything gets imported (i think). When i add a from .app import App it does not give this issue anymore.

When i run the exact same project with

pylint==1.9.3
pylint-django==2.0.6

there are no issues at all.

So i've fixed it by importing all models into the scope of the file.

UPDATE
As it turns out the project does not run anymore because of circulair imports. Anyhow, it has something to do with foreign keys and the scope of the file and pylint not able to resolve it the way Django / python can.

zout · 2019-05-03T08:41:59Z

@atodorov I've narrowed it down to OneToOne relations. On my github there is a project that will trigger the error. Hope it helps in finding out the root cause: https://github.com/zout/django-pylint-issue

snstanton · 2019-05-10T02:04:18Z

The following simple file triggers the error for me:

from django.db import models

class BadModel(models.Model):
    bad = models.ForeignKey('Other', null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

    def foo(self):
        return self.bad.name

atodorov · 2019-05-10T09:19:20Z

@snstanton where is 'Other' model defined ?

snstanton · 2019-05-10T17:27:00Z

It isn't defined anywhere. In my test case it's an unbound reference. This is the minimal test case I could come up with to cause the pylint crash.

In my production code, it's just defined in another file in the same directory. I have a directory structure like:

app/models/
  __init__.py
  model1.py
  model2.py
  ...

All of the model files are included by the package __init__.py. To deal with circular references, most of the ForeignKey fields are defined using the string syntax rather than actually imported references.

snstanton · 2019-05-10T21:21:37Z

I can confirm that rolling back to

pylint==1.9.3
pylint-django==2.0.6

does work around the issue.

atodorov · 2019-05-11T02:29:01Z

ok, I think I see where the problem is. When FK is specified as string we execute this branch:

        elif isinstance(arg, nodes.Const):

and inside of it key_cls is indeed never assigned to so when execution jumps to the return statement at the end it breaks.

@imomaliev ^^^. Not sure how to handle this ATM.

imomaliev · 2019-05-11T18:01:22Z

I will look into this in on next weekend. Currently on vacation. I think it could be solved by filtering out incoming args

snstanton · 2019-05-21T17:18:02Z

Any progress on this issue?

imomaliev · 2019-05-22T07:55:49Z

@snstanton not yet. Been busy with work. If somebody is up for fixing this I could help reviewing PR afterwards. If not, I will hopefully have time this week

imomaliev · 2019-05-23T14:28:32Z

Created PR with fix for UnboundLocalError #234 but don't know how to properly make @snstanton 's case work. infer_key_classes should be able to introspect not only module with Model but all modules in models package to achieve this

chocoelho · 2019-06-13T20:13:02Z

@imomaliev looks like the issue is that other ForeignKey arguments are being evaluated as well. This line here: https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint-django/blob/c3edd260d94ca607d2c05a5cc33324921fae55e4/pylint_django/transforms/foreignkey.py#L78 is the one causing the whole problem, as in @snstanton case, the null=True is being evaluated and it throws the AttributeError exception as True will be the value of arg.value in the moment. Because it has a break clause for this exception, the return is called (thus it fail because it's unbound at the moment).

b/c this test file is only to validate we don't get the traceback seen in #232

atodorov · 2019-08-06T12:06:48Z

The original traceback reported at the top has been fixed by @imomaliev in version 2.0.10 so closing this. For further discussion open new issues.
