Flask SQLAlchemy, '__init__ takes exactly one argument' when adding database record via class constructor












0















In my API I often use a pattern like this:



from app.models import Timecards

def add_timecard(payload):
new_timecard = Timecards(**payload)
db.session.add(new_timecard)
db.session.commit()


Where Timecards is:



class Timecards(db.Model):
__tablename__ = "timesheet_line"

id = db.Column("line_id", db.Integer, primary_key=True, autoincrement=True)
description = db.Column("line_description", db.String(255))
ref_number = db.Column("line_ref_number", db.String(255))
notes = db.Column("line_notes", db.String(255))
approved_by_id = db.Column("line_approved_by_id", db.String(255))
date_approved = db.Column("line_date_approved", db.DateTime)
date_submitted = db.Column("line_date_submitted", db.DateTime)
time_started = db.Column("line_time_started", db.DateTime)
time_ended = db.Column("line_time_ended", db.DateTime)
user_id = db.Column("line_user_id", db.Integer)
is_active = db.Column("line_isActive", db.Integer)


I do not have a custom __init__ method defined on this class. All my other classes work perfectly fine when I interact with them this way but for some reason this particular class seems to be only accept this automatically passed self argument and rejects my payload with the error



__init__() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)


For example I have this class:



class ServicesRendered(db.Model):
__tablename__ = "services_rendered"

id = db.Column("service_id", db.Integer, primary_key=True, autoincrement=True)
notes = db.Column("service_notes", db.String(255))
status = db.Column("service_status", db.String(255))
time_open = db.Column("service_timeOpen", db.DateTime)
time_close = db.Column("service_timeClose", db.DateTime)
is_active = db.Column("service_isActive", db.Integer)


and the following code works perfectly:



def add_services_rendered(payload):
new_services_rendered = ServicesRendered(**payload)


As far as I can tell these classes are defined in the same way, and I am interacting with them in the same way, but one throws an error and the other does not.

  • Can you show us how you're instantiating Timecards to get the error? Are you using the ** to explode payload?

  • its in the first block of code, Timecards(**payload)

  • Ah, sorry 'bout that, scanned right past it. What's in payload? The error says only 2 parameters were supplied (one of which is self, as you pointed out), does payload contain only one element?

  • In your second example, payload must be an empty dictionary, in your first, it's not. You are calling __init__(self, <whatever payload explotes into>) and the method is defined as __init__(self). That's why you're getting the error.
