My Django app is unable to see MEDIA directory. When I run one of my views I need to open a file. The scenario is to:
take a record with requested id from data base
get the file path to a file
send the file to external server for OCR purposes
urls.py
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns = [
#my urls
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root = settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
models.py
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class Homework( models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length = 200, default = None)
image = models.FileField(upload_to='user_scans/')
author = models.ForeignKey(User, default=None, on_delete = models.CASCADE)
latex = models.TextField(default = "No LaTeX Here")
settings.py:
from pathlib import Path
from django.conf.urls.static import static
BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent
...
DEBUG = True
...
STATIC_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'static'
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
MEDIA_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'media'
MEDIA_URL = "/media/"
views.py
import requests
import json
from django.shortcuts import render, get_object_or_404
from .models import Homework
def create_homework(request):
if request.method == 'GET':
#some GET stuff
if request.method == 'POST':
homework = Homework()
homework.title = title
homework.image = image
homework.author = author
homework.save()
id = homework.id
json_to_mathsnip(id)
....
def json_to_mathsnip(id):
homework = get_object_or_404(Homework, pk=id)
f = open(homework.image.url, "rb")
...
some later stuff
...
Unfortunately I'm constantly running into an error:
FileNotFoundError at /homework/new
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/media/user_scans/kwa.png'
My main concern is I can access file from localhost:8000/media/user_scans/kwa.png and from admin panel. Requested file is saved properly:
Also settings.py configuration seems to be in tact. What might be the issue?
