The GSoC 2011 program will end shortly. Last week I was working on the account management, assign host, adding evaluation group and dashboard. There's a problem with Django test client that I couldn't figure out. The handler always treat self.data.POST as regular dict for every requests (in my case via POST) made from Django test client. Since in validate method there's a line that expect QueryDict instance, by calling getlist method self.data.POST.getlist('assign_program'), the test always fail. Maybe I missed something here, so I read the client.py code from Django that comes along with Google App Engine SDK. It took me two days or more to trace this problem. I don't think we should remove getlist from the handler nor hacking the django test client. So, I left the test ATM and move to another to do list, that's it, the dashboard.
The dashboard will be moved to soc/views/helpers/dashboard.py and the code itself is self explanatory:
class Dashboard(Template):
"""Base dashboard for admin page
"""
def __init__(self, request, data, subpages=None):
"""Initializes the dashboard.
Args:
request: The HTTPRequest object
data: The RequestData object
subpages: Subpages of current dashboard
"""
self.request = request
self.data = data
self.subpages = subpages
def getSubpagesLink(self):
"""Returns the link to other dashboard that appears
on top of the dashboard.
"""
return self.subpages
def templatePath(self):
"""Returns the path to the template that should be used in render()
"""
return 'v2/modules/gsoc/dashboard/dashboard.html'
def _divideSubPages(self, subpages):
"""Returns the subpages divided into two columns.
"""
middle_ceil = int(math.ceil(float(len(subpages))/2))
return [
subpages[:middle_ceil],
subpages[middle_ceil:],
]
The templates is improved to be able to handle list components that we have seen from regular dashboard. I hope the patch will be posted for reviewing process lately this week and pushed before the program ends.
