Previous title: Unable to import 'misaka' - Django

I am following a tutorial about how to build a social network.

I run into this error:

IntegrityError at /posts/new/ NOT NULL constraint failed: posts_post.user_id

Complete traceback (please note the lines in bold):

The above exception (NOT NULL constraint failed: posts_post.user_id) was the direct cause of the following exception: C:\Applicazioni_Tommaso\Phyton\lib\site-packages\django\core\handlers\exception.py in inner response = get_response(request) … ▶ Local vars C:\Applicazioni_Tommaso\Phyton\lib\site-packages\django\core\handlers\base.py in _get_response response = self.process_exception_by_middleware(e, request) … ▶ Local vars C:\Applicazioni_Tommaso\Phyton\lib\site-packages\django\core\handlers\base.py in _get_response response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) … ▶ Local vars C:\Applicazioni_Tommaso\Phyton\lib\site-packages\django\views\generic\base.py in view return self.dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) … ▶ Local vars C:\Applicazioni_Tommaso\Phyton\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\auth\mixins.py in dispatch return super().dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) … ▶ Local vars C:\Applicazioni_Tommaso\Phyton\lib\site-packages\django\views\generic\base.py in dispatch return handler(request, *args, **kwargs) … ▶ Local vars C:\Applicazioni_Tommaso\Phyton\lib\site-packages\django\views\generic\edit.py in post return super().post(request, *args, **kwargs) … ▶ Local vars C:\Applicazioni_Tommaso\Phyton\lib\site-packages\django\views\generic\edit.py in post return self.form_valid(form) …

The lines in bold are pointing to these two pieces of code:

1: In my_project\posts\views.py in form_valid:

def form_valid(self, form):
    self.object = form.save(commit=False)
    self.object = self.request.user
    self.object.save()
    return super().form_valid(form) #<--highligted line 

2: In my_project\posts\models.py in save

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
    self.message_html = m.html(self.message)
    super().save(*args, **kwargs) #<--highligted line 

These functions are run when a user posts a new post inside a group of the social network.

I am using VScode, so I noticed that apparently, my code does not recognise misaka, installed via pip and imported as follows:

import misaka as m

Pylint import error: Unable to import 'misaka'

I have read misaka documentation but I can't understand what is wrong.
please note I am using Misaka v. 2.1.0, that apparently does not need to be installed in INSTALLED_APPS in settings.

Any thoughts?

Since it has been suggested that I am trying to create a Post model object into the database without setting the user foreign key, here you can see my my_project/posts/model.py:

from django.db import models
from django.urls import reverse #vho corretto io, ersione di django cambiata
from django.conf import settings

import misaka as m

from groups.models import Group

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
User = get_user_model()

class Post(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="posts", on_delete=models.CASCADE)

    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    message = models.TextField()
    message_html = models.TextField(editable=False)

    group = models.ForeignKey(Group, related_name="posts", null=True, blank=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.message

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.message_html = m.html(self.message)
        super().save(*args, **kwargs)

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return reverse('posts:single', kwargs={'username':self.user.username, 'pk':self.pk})

    class Meta:
            ordering = ['-created_at']
            unique_together = ['user', 'message']

You're trying to insert a Post model object into the database without setting the User foreign key.

You should set it to the user object attached to the request first.

def form_valid(self, form):
    form.instance.created_by = self.request.user
    return super().form_valid(form)

Check Django Documentation

SOLVED:

As suggested by @ebram-shehata, the code was trying to insert a Post model object into the database without setting the User foreign key, and this is because in the form_valid(self, form) method I mispelled a line.

I substituted

def form_valid(self, form):
    self.object = form.save(commit=False)
    self.object = self.request.user
    self.object.save()
    return super().form_valid(form)

with:

def form_valid(self, form):
    self.object = form.save(commit=False)
    self.object.user = self.request.user
    self.object.save()
    return super().form_valid(form)

and now it works fine!

add :

self.object.user = self.request.user 

And replace self.object with self.object()

So that you obtain:

def form_valid(self, form): 
    self.object = form.save(commit=False) 
    self.object.user = self.request.user 
    self.object.save() 
    return super().form_valid(form)
