'File' object has no attribute '_committed'

[techscientist]

I am getting this error when trying to point an existing file to a FilerFileField of a model:

'File' object has no attribute '_committed'

`file, created = File.objects.get_or_create(owner=instance.issued_by, description=desc, name=filename, is_public=False, file=File(open(filename)))

    l.info("Created %s file? %s" % (file.path, created))

    instance.generated_doc = file
    instance.save()
    l.info("Done!")`

Can you please tell me how to programmatically save an existing file to the FilerFileField of the model?

I would start with posting all the code. Are you using filer.models.filemodels.File?

See: https://github.com/divio/django-filer/blob/develop/filer/management/commands/import_files.py

Thanks, i was able to glue this together and make it work:

        from django.core.files import File as DjangoFile

        file_obj = DjangoFile(open(filename, mode='rb'), name=f'{instance.id}.csv')

        obj, created = File.objects.get_or_create(
            original_filename=file_obj.name, file=file_obj, folder=folder,
            is_public=True, description='CSV'
        )

        instance.generated_csv = obj
        instance.save()

@psychok7 how do I proceed when saving multiple files inside a FileField?

[psychok7]

@Olfredos6 I don't think you can. I filefield only has 1 file. You can probably group everything under the same parent folder or use a many to many to achieve the same.

This work for me

from django.core.files import File as DjangoFile
file_obj = DjangoFile(open('C:/Users/test/Desktop/files/PDF.pdf', mode='rb'),name='PDF'])
arc = Test.objects.create(
   files = file_obj,
)

Hi there, I had also similar error, but on the ImageField.

I tried to make my blogpost's modal thumbnail optional by typing null and blank True. Than i created a checkbox in forms.py and in the views.py I did the following

Views.py post = Post() if not form.cleaned_data["the_checkbox']: tumbnail = form.cleaned_data["thumbnail_file"] else: print("not a thumbnail")

#all other stuff here, username, subject etc if not form.cleaned_data["the_checkbox']: post.thumbnail = thumbnail

post.save()

#end Yes, I checked if the form.is_valid() and migrated my modals. Same worked for the profile picture, But in this, it is giving me error ImageField has no attribute "_commited"

The error arises from the post.save() line and in pre_save() method of modal

Please help me if there's anything that i don't know THANKS
