Not adding all required packages that are used in the Django project

[kushal-h]

In my project along with Django package, I have installed other packages ie. django-crispy-forms and so on. However, when I use the pipreqs only the Django package is added but not other required packages.

Hi! could you provide a minimum example that I can use to reproduce this error?

HI,

The problem is as follows.

In my Django project, I have used packages like "django-crispy-forms==1.12.0", "psycopg2==2.8.6", "django-helpdesk==0.2.23" and so on. When I used pipreqs command in* requirements.txt* only django "Django==2.2.24" is added but not the rest as mentioned above.

Best, Kushal H

Hey @kushal-h, if you could maybe share the project structure for us to get a better idea or if the project is open source then feel free to share the project repo link, this would help us a lot in understanding what is the exact problem.

Thanks :)

Installing the requirements in an empty venv, and then calling pipreqs ./ --print doesn't show the psycopg2==2.8.5 requirement. psycopg2 itself isn't imported or used in the project, so I can hazard a guess why it wouldn't show up. But the module must be installed if you want to use PostgreSQL as the database.

Have you found the solution?

Yep: dj_database_url==1.0.0 Django==4.0 django_restful_admin==1.1.3 - djangorestframework==3.14.0 + drf_spectacular==0.24.2

It's adding in the new drf_spectacular but now dropping djangorestframework for my own project.

"from rest_framework import serializers" is mostly definitely in my source along with some actual template serializer code.
