Hi all,

I'm writing some tests #18586) for defer() and only() and there appears to be a bug when it comes to chaining these two in a single query.

If you look at the docs (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/querysets/#django.db.models.query.QuerySet.only), it says this:

# Final result is that everything except "headline" is deferred.  Entry.objects.only("headline", "body").defer("body")    # Final result loads headline and body immediately (only() replaces any  # existing set of fields).  

Entry.objects.defer("body").only("headline", "body")

However, when I test the last example "body" is still deferred after only() has been applied to it. In a situation where there are only these two fields in a model there should be no deferred field. 

Is there any reason for this or does this need reporting as a bug. If so, what's the procedure for this?

Well, either the code is wrong or the documentation is wrong, so *something* needs to be changed. The documentation describes what I understood to be Django's behavior, so it if isn't working like that, then it sounds like you've found a bug.

To report it, visit

https://code.djangoproject.com

and on the top left, there's a "New ticket" button. (You may need to log in first - either with your Github account, or by creating a Django Project account).

Fill in the details (pretty much what you've done here, but also provide Django + Python version numbers, and the database you're testing with), and someone else will try to replicate the problem you describe.
