Absolute paths in FileField's 'upload_to' causes Django Migration failure about open-semantic-search-apps HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for you bug report. The packages are running with this settings for the LTS versions. This happens if new Django version on newer Ubuntu versions and Debian testing.

Will change that so it runs on all.

Thanks. I was conscious that Ubuntu 18.04 is schedule to be a new LTS build so I thought it was worth raising to be ready.

If there are errors for example on crawling because of that:

After setting to relative paths you can do
cd /var/lib/opensemanticsearch
python3 manage.py migrate
so the DB upgrade should work with newer Django versions, too instead of failing because of absolute path settings.

Thanks for driving me here.

So as far as I understand I have to remove the leading slash of both :

open-semantic-search-apps/src/csv_manager/models.py

Line 12 in 3260c48
 file = models.FileField(upload_to='**/**var/opensemanticsearch/csv', blank = True) 

and

open-semantic-search-apps/src/ontologies/models.py

Line 16 in 3260c48
file = models.FileField(upload_to='**/**var/opensemanticsearch/ontologies', blank = True) 

I did it then try to

cd /var/lib/opensemanticsearch
python3 manage.py migrate

but it doesn't work.

from open-semantic-search-apps.

With 9a2e6e5 the Django apps now use relative paths for management of uploads, so new installations / the new package should run on new Django and coming Ubuntu LTS version, too.

If Linux is upgraded on an existing installations, you have to remove the leading path /var/lib/opensemanticsearch/ from the paths csv and ontologies in your Django database located in /var/lib/opensemanticsearch/db.sqlite3 ...

If a fresh installation (no entries in database!) failed, just delete the database /var/lib/opensemanticsearch/db.sqlite3 before upgrade with new package.
