Django IntegrityError with NOT NULL Constraint
The error you're encountering (django.db.utils.IntegrityError with a NOT NULL constraint failing on the cargo field) indicates that you're trying to create a Funcionario record without providing a value for the required cargo field.
Possible Causes
- The
cargo field in your form isn't being populated correctly
- The form data isn't being properly processed in your view
- The
cargo field in your model doesn't have a default value and is required
Troubleshooting Steps
1. Check your model definition
Make sure your model has the cargo field properly defined:
class Funcionario(models.Model):
# other fields...
cargo = models.ForeignKey(Cargo, on_delete=models.CASCADE) # or whatever relationship you have
# other fields...
2. Verify your form
Ensure your form includes the cargo field and it's being rendered correctly:
class FuncionarioForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Funcionario
fields = ['cargo', ...] # Make sure 'cargo' is included
3. Check your view
Make sure your view is processing the form data correctly:
def create_funcionario(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = FuncionarioForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
# redirect or other logic
else:
print(form.errors) # Add this to debug form validation errors
else:
form = FuncionarioForm()
return render(request, 'template.html', {'form': form})
4. Check your template
Make sure your template is rendering the field correctly:
<form method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.non_field_errors }}
<div class="form-group">
{{ form.cargo.errors }}
<label for="{{ form.cargo.id_for_label }}">Cargo:</label>
{{ form.cargo }}
</div>
<!-- Other fields -->
<button type="submit">Save</button>
</form>
5. Debug with print statements
Add print statements in your view to see what data is being submitted:
def create_funcionario(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
print("POST data:", request.POST) # See what's being submitted
# rest of your view
