Django specific error on running code in settings.py
I am trying to create an html file when the django project is started, by including code in the project/settings.py as follows:
def Brander():
import configparser
config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read('settings.ini')
version = config['PROJECT']['version']
APPNAME = config['BRANDING']['appname']
APPCOMPANY = config['BRANDING']['appcompany']
APPCOMPANYLINK = config['BRANDING']['appcompanysite']
APPLINK = config['BRANDING']['appsite']
from django.contrib.staticfiles import finders
filen = finders.find('clinic/brandedfooter.html')
f = open(filen, "w")
s = f"""
<div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 d-none d-md-block d-lg-block">
<span class="text-muted float-right"><i>My OP and IP Clinic - <a href="{APPLINK}">{APPCOMPANY} by </a><a href="{APPCOMPANYLINK}">{APPCOMPANY}</a></i></span>
</div>
"""
f.write(s)
My project/settings.ini contains:
[PROJECT]
version = 0.0.1
[BRANDING]
appname = MyOPIP
appcompany = Droidzone
appcompanysite = https://droidzone.in
appsite = https://myopip.com
When the above code is run as standalone python script, everything works fine, and the html file is generated. However, when this is executed as part of manage.py runserver
, I get the following error:
joel@hp:~/myappointments$ ./manage.py runserver

The relative path to the ini file is incorrect. Try giving the full path or check what the current working directory is and adapt the path accordingly. And IMHO it's not a good idea to add actual code to the settings.

@KlausD. Could you suggest an alternate way to add a version and company name to the footer, which is included several levels below the master template? I dont want to end up passing several variables or an object every time I need to call a view. My app has hundreds of views.

The relative path to the ini file is incorrect. Try giving the full path or check what the current working directory is and adapt the path accordingly. And IMHO it's not a good idea to add actual code to the settings.

@KlausD. Could you suggest an alternate way to add a version and company name to the footer, which is included several levels below the master template? I dont want to end up passing several variables or an object every time I need to call a view. My app has hundreds of views.

You can use Django Constance for defining the settings. For example:
CONSTANCE_CONFIG = {
'VERSION': ('0.0.1', 'Version'),
}
Then add 'constance.context_processors.config'
in you context processors like the documentation mentioned. Then use it in template:
{{ config.VERSION }}
