python - Is there another way to change the error message on a ModelForm for a validate_unique error? -


disregarding actual method use below parsing error messages since needs lots of improvement make more general-purpose, parsing error messages raised way of changing error message displayed?

specifically, i've removed 1 of fields modelform. when validate_unique run remove field validation described in this answer on so. error message django displays on form when validate_unique run says: 'x y , z exists.' z field manually removed modelform. want change error message because mentioning z, not-displayed field, confusing user has no way of changing z on form.

this feels fragile , hacky.

def validate_unique(self):     exclude = self._get_validation_exclusions()     exclude.remove('a_field_not_shown_on_form')      try:         self.instance.validate_unique(exclude=exclude)     except validationerror, e:         if '__all__' in e.message_dict:             idx, err in enumerate(e.message_dict['__all__']):                 unique_together in self.instance._meta.unique_together:                     if 'a_field_not_shown_on_form' not in unique_together:                         continue                     if err.lower() == '{} {} , {} exists.'.format(self.instance.__class__.__name__,                                                                                       unique_together[0],                                                                                       unique_together[1]).lower():                         e.message_dict['__all__'][idx] = '{} {} exists in {}'.format(self.instance.__class__.__name__,                                                                                                        unique_together[0].capitalize(),                                                                                                        self.instance.complex.name)          self._update_errors(e.message_dict) 

from django.utils.text import capfirst  class yourmodel(models.model):      # fields      def unique_error_message(self, model_class, unique_check):         opts = model_class._meta         model_name = capfirst(opts.verbose_name)          # unique field         field_name = self._meta.unique_together[0]         field_label = capfirst(opts.get_field(field_name).verbose_name)         # insert error error dict, sneaky         return _(u"%(model_name)s %(field_label)s exists.") %  {             'model_name': unicode(model_name),             'field_label': unicode(field_label)         }

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers
