Upgrading
=========
0.6 to 0.7
==========
Cascade saves
-------------
Saves will raise a `FutureWarning` if they cascade and cascade hasn't been set
to True. This is because in 0.8 it will default to False. If you require
cascading saves then either set it in the `meta` or pass
via `save` eg ::
# At the class level:
class Person(Document):
meta = {'cascade': True}
# Or in code:
my_document.save(cascade=True)
.. note ::
Remember: cascading saves **do not** cascade through lists.
ReferenceFields
---------------
ReferenceFields now can store references as ObjectId strings instead of DBRefs.
This will become the default in 0.8 and if `dbref` is not set a `FutureWarning`
will be raised.
To explicitly continue to use DBRefs change the `dbref` flag
to True ::
class Person(Document):
groups = ListField(ReferenceField(Group, dbref=True))
To migrate to using strings instead of DBRefs you will have to manually
migrate ::
# Step 1 - Migrate the model definition
class Group(Document):
author = ReferenceField(User, dbref=False)
members = ListField(ReferenceField(User, dbref=False))
# Step 2 - Migrate the data
for g in Group.objects():
g.author = g.author
g.members = g.members
g.save()
0.5 to 0.6
==========
Embedded Documents - if you had a `pk` field you will have to rename it from
`_id` to `pk` as pk is no longer a property of Embedded Documents.
Reverse Delete Rules in Embedded Documents, MapFields and DictFields now throw
an InvalidDocument error as they aren't currently supported.
Document._get_subclasses - Is no longer used and the class method has been
removed.
Document.objects.with_id - now raises an InvalidQueryError if used with a
filter.
FutureWarning - A future warning has been added to all inherited classes that
don't define `allow_inheritance` in their meta.
You may need to update pyMongo to 2.0 for use with Sharding.
0.4 to 0.5
===========
There have been the following backwards incompatibilities from 0.4 to 0.5. The
main areas of changed are: choices in fields, map_reduce and collection names.
Choice options:
---------------
Are now expected to be an iterable of tuples, with the first element in each
tuple being the actual value to be stored. The second element is the
human-readable name for the option.
PyMongo / MongoDB
-----------------
map reduce now requires pymongo 1.11+- The pymongo `merge_output` and
`reduce_output` parameters, have been depreciated.
More methods now use map_reduce as db.eval is not supported for sharding as
such the following have been changed:
* :meth:`~mongoengine.queryset.QuerySet.sum`
* :meth:`~mongoengine.queryset.QuerySet.average`
* :meth:`~mongoengine.queryset.QuerySet.item_frequencies`
Default collection naming
-------------------------
Previously it was just lowercase, its now much more pythonic and readable as
its lowercase and underscores, previously ::
class MyAceDocument(Document):
pass
MyAceDocument._meta['collection'] == myacedocument
In 0.5 this will change to ::
class MyAceDocument(Document):
pass
MyAceDocument._get_collection_name() == my_ace_document
To upgrade use a Mixin class to set meta like so ::
class BaseMixin(object):
meta = {
'collection': lambda c: c.__name__.lower()
}
class MyAceDocument(Document, BaseMixin):
pass
MyAceDocument._get_collection_name() == "myacedocument"
Alternatively, you can rename your collections eg ::
from mongoengine.connection import _get_db
from mongoengine.base import _document_registry
def rename_collections():
db = _get_db()
failure = False
collection_names = [d._get_collection_name()
for d in _document_registry.values()]
for new_style_name in collection_names:
if not new_style_name: # embedded documents don't have collections
continue
old_style_name = new_style_name.replace('_', '')
if old_style_name == new_style_name:
continue # Nothing to do
existing = db.collection_names()
if old_style_name in existing:
if new_style_name in existing:
failure = True
print "FAILED to rename: %s to %s (already exists)" % (
old_style_name, new_style_name)
else:
db[old_style_name].rename(new_style_name)
print "Renamed: %s to %s" % (old_style_name,
new_style_name)
if failure:
print "Upgrading collection names failed"
else:
print "Upgraded collection names"
