The combination of BaseManager.from_queryset() and RenameMethodsBase results in
Manager.__module__ having the wrong value. This can be an issue when trying to
pickle the Manager class.
Wherever possible this filesystem path is derived automatically from the app
module's ``__path__`` and ``__file__`` attributes (this avoids any
backwards-compatibility problems).
AppConfig allows specifying an app's filesystem location explicitly, which
overrides all autodetection based on ``__path__`` and ``__file__``. This
permits Django to support any type of module as an app (namespace packages,
fake modules, modules loaded by other hypothetical non-filesystem module
loaders), as long as the app is configured with an explicit filesystem path.
Thanks Aymeric for review and discussion.
Following the app-loading refactor, these objects must live outside of
django.contrib.sites.models because they must be available without
importing the django.contrib.sites.models module when
django.contrib.sites isn't installed.
Refs #21680. Thanks Carl and Loic for reporting this issue.
Also document the conditions under which a namespace package may or may not be
a Django app, and raise a clearer error message in those cases where it may not
be.
Thanks Aymeric for review and consultation.
Clarified that queries in autocommit mode are committed immediately
only if a transaction has not already been started. Added to the
main transaction docs that Django's TestCase class implicitly wraps
its tests in transactions.
AppStaticStorage only provided one thing over FileSystemStorage, which was
taking an app name (import path) and translating it into a filesystem
path. This is now something that should be done via app_config.path instead,
leaving AppStaticStorage with no reason for existence. It should be safe to
remove, as it was undocumented internal API.
There was some kind of feature in the AppDirectoriesFinder code related to a
"prefix" attribute on the storage class used by AppDirectoriesFinder. Since
this feature was undocumented, untested, and of unclear purpose, I removed it
as well.
During the admin check for list_editable _check_list_editable_item
should return an empty list if all checks pass. Additionally the
Testcase test_readonly_and_editable was changed to test what the
name implies instead of duplicating the logic of test_readonly.
We did this for 1.6 and it was very effective. 95%+ of fixes which merge
during the alpha are backported, as the policy is "all but really major
features". It's easier to just not merge any really major features.
After beta, we have feature freeze so we need to backport bugs to stable
but not features, so then the branch makes sense.
