Possible Bug when using exclude on a GenericForeignKey / GenericRelation query.

Hi everyone.

I've been using django for almost a year now, but it's my first time posting here.

Anyway, I'm encountering an error which I think might be a bug. I've yet to try and replicate it as I thought posting here would be the better first step, as I might just be doing something incorrectly.

When I try a query with .exclude() on a table with a GenericForeignKey and a reverse Generic Relation on a different table, I get this:

AttributeError at /list
'GenericRelation' object has no attribute 'field'

Here is a mock up of my database structure:

class InternalOffer(models.Model):

    user = models.ForeignKey('User')
    status = models.CharField(max_length=64)

    (more offer data...)

    relation = GenericRelation(OfferJoin, related_query_name='offerquery')

class ExternalOffer(models.Model):

    user = models.ForeignKey('User')
    status = models.CharField(max_length=64)

    (more offer data...)

    relation = GenericRelation(OfferJoin, related_query_name='offerquery')

class OfferJoin(models.Model):

    content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType)

    object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField()

    offer = GenericForeignKey('content_type', 'object_id')

I can filter fine, it's only the exclude that causes errors. Here is the code that causes the error:

offers = OfferCover.objects.filter(offerquery__user__id=request.user.id)

offers = offers.exclude(offerquery__status="Completed")

Here's the full callback:

Django Version: 1.8.2

Python Version: 2.7.6

Traceback:

  1989.         join_field = path.join_field.field

Exception Type: AttributeError at /list

Exception Value: 'GenericRelation' object has no attribute 'field'

I've read the documentation multiple times and haven't come across anything usefull. I know that filtering GFKs alone won't work, but both filtering and excluding should work with the reverse Generic Relation.

Thanks!
