Why Does My Django Factory Model Lack an 'objects' Manager in the View?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm encountering the error "Type object “Factory” has no attribute objects" when trying to render my HTML template that uses the Factory model. I suspect there's an issue with how model managers or attributes are set up in my Django project. I've reviewed the Django documentation on model attributes (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/topics/db/models/#model-attributes) but haven't resolved the problem yet.

The project is named "PlatecAdmin" and contains an app called "platec" where all the model, view, and admin files are stored. The error appears on the webpage when I try to load the template associated with the Factory model.

Below are the relevant code snippets:

Model.py

PYTHON
from django.db import models from django.conf import settings from django.contrib.auth.models import User # Create your models here. class IsActive(models.Manager): def get_queryset(self): return super().get_queryset().filter(is_active=True) class SoftDelete(models.Model): is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True, null=False, blank=False) all_records = models.Manager() active_records = IsActive() def soft_delete(self): self.is_active = False self.save() def undelete(self): self.is_active = True self.save() class Meta: abstract = True class SoftDeleteManager(models.Manager): def get_queryset(self): return super().get_queryset().filter(is_active = True) class Factory(SoftDelete): factory_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True, null=False, blank=False) factory_cd = models.CharField(max_length=3, null=False, blank=False) factory_name = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=False, blank=False) factory_desc = models.CharField(max_length=255, null=True, blank=True) comments = models.CharField(max_length=300, null=True, blank=True) created_dt = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True, null=False, blank=False) created_by = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.PROTECT, null=False, blank=False, related_name='cr_factory') last_modify_dt = models.DateField(auto_now=True, null=False, blank=False) last_modify_by = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.PROTECT, null=False, blank=False, related_name='lm_factory') def __str__(self) -> str: return f"{self.factory_id} - {self.factory_cd} - {self.factory_name} - {self.factory_desc} - {self.comments} - {self.created_dt} - {self.created_by} - {self.last_modify_dt} - {self.is_active}" class Setor(SoftDelete): setor_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True, null=False, blank=False) setor_cd = models.CharField(max_length=3, null=False, blank=False) setor_name = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=False, blank=False) setor_desc = models.CharField(max_length=255, null=True, blank=True) comments = models.CharField(max_length=300, null=True, blank=True) created_dt = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True, null=False, blank=False) created_by = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.PROTECT, null=False, blank=False, related_name='scr_factory') last_modify_dt = models.DateField(auto_now=True, null=False, blank=False) last_modify_by = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.PROTECT, null=False, blank=False, related_name='slm_factory') def __str__(self) -> str: return f"{self.setor_id} - {self.setor_cd} - {self.setor_name} - {self.setor_desc} - {self.comments}" class factory_setor(SoftDelete): fac_set_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True, null=False, blank=False) factory = models.ForeignKey(Factory, on_delete=models.PROTECT) setor = models.ForeignKey(Setor, on_delete=models.PROTECT) created_dt = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True, null=False, blank=False) created_by = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.PROTECT, null=False, blank=False, related_name='fscr_factory') last_modify_dt = models.DateField(auto_now=True, null=False, blank=False) last_modify_by = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.PROTECT, null=False, blank=False, related_name='fslm_factory') def __str__(self) -> str: return f"{self.fac_set_id} - {self.factory} - {self.setor}"

Admin.py

PYTHON
from django.contrib import admin from django.forms import ModelForm from django.http import HttpRequest from .models import Factory, factory_setor, Setor @admin.register(Factory) class FactoryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = ('factory_id', 'factory_cd', 'factory_name', 'factory_desc', 'comments') list_filter = ('is_active', 'factory_name') search_fields = ('factory_cd' 'factory_name',) actions = ['restore_selected', 'inactivate_records'] def restore_selected(modelAdmin, request, queryset): queryset.update(is_active=True) def inactivate_records(modelAdmin, request, queryset): queryset.update(is_active=False) def has_delete_permission(self, request, obj=None): return False def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change): if not change: obj.created_by = request.user obj.last_modify_by = request.user else: obj.last_modify_by = request.user return super().save_model(request, obj, form, change) restore_selected.short_description = 'Activate selected Records' inactivate_records.short_description = 'Inactivate selected Records' exclude = ['created_by', 'last_modify_by']

View.py

PYTHON
from django.shortcuts import render from django.http import HttpResponse from django.template import loader from .models import Factory, factory_setor, Setor def platec(request): template = loader.get_template('test.html') return HttpResponse(template.render()) def factory(request): myfactories = Factory.objects.all().values() template = loader.get_template('factories.html') context = { 'myfactories': myfactories, } return HttpResponse(template.render(context, request))

I’d appreciate any guidance on diagnosing and fixing this issue, particularly around the model manager setup. Thanks in advance!

Fixing the "Type object 'Factory' has no attribute 'objects'" Error

I've identified the issue in your Django project. The error occurs because your Factory model inherits from SoftDelete, which overrides the default model manager but doesn't provide an objects manager.

The Problem

In your SoftDelete abstract model, you've defined:

PYTHON
all_records = models.Manager() active_records = IsActive()

But when you try to use Factory.objects.all() in your view, Django can't find the objects manager because it's been replaced by your custom managers.

The Solution

You need to add the default objects manager to your SoftDelete class. There are two approaches:

Option 1: Add objects manager to SoftDelete

PYTHON
class SoftDelete(models.Model): is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True, null=False, blank=False) objects = models.Manager() # Add this line all_records = models.Manager() active_records = IsActive() # Rest of your code...

Option 2: Modify your view to use the existing managers

PYTHON
def factory(request): # Use all_records instead of objects myfactories = Factory.all_records.all().values() template = loader.get_template('factories.html') context = { 'myfactories': myfactories, } return HttpResponse(template.render(context, request))

Additional Recommendations

  1. Your SoftDeleteManager class is defined but never used. Consider using it:
PYTHON
class SoftDelete(models.Model): is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True, null=False, blank=False) objects = models.Manager() all_records = models.Manager() active_records = SoftDeleteManager() # Use your custom manager # Rest of your code...
  1. Class names in Python should use CamelCase. Rename factory_setor to FactorySetor to follow Python conventions.

  2. There's a syntax error in your admin search fields:

PYTHON
search_fields = ('factory_cd' 'factory_name',) # Missing comma

Should be:

PYTHON
search_fields = ('factory_cd', 'factory_name',)

After making these changes, your error should be resolved, and you'll be able to access your Factory model data properly.
