Re: Arrayfield constraint issue in 4.1

Might be a bug. Check the release notes for the post 4.0.8 versions to see if anything related changed. File a bug with the simplest example code that demonstrates the issue.

I can't yet work out whether this is a Django bug or how I'm using model constraints... Upgraded from 4.0.8 to 4.1.4 and have hit this issue when saving this model in the admin. I'd read in the release notes that these constraints would be validated on model save, and that's the code that's leading to this exception. If it's not something I've done, it seems ArrayField isn't working with this new validation of my condition. The same happens for Q(phone_numbers__len__gte=0), and the error disappears if I comment out this condition. It seems the generated code might be wrong, as I see 12 "%s" and only 11 elements in params. All it's trying to do is ensure that an empty list isn't considered unique.

Here's the failing model:

phone_numbers = ArrayField(models.CharField(max_length=200), default=list, blank=True)

class Meta:

    constraints = [

        models.UniqueConstraint(

           fields=['phone_numbers'],

           condition=~Q(phone_numbers__len=0),

           name='unique_email_phones',

        ),

    ]
