Django Custom File Storage system

Question

I have a custom storage

import os
from django.core.files.storage import Storage


class AlwaysOverwriteFileSystemStorage(Storage):
    def get_available_name(sel         


        

Answer 1

I try to make this, but don`t work for me, until I make this on my storage.py :

import os
from django.conf import settings
from django.core.files.storage import FileSystemStorage


class MyFileSystemStorage(FileSystemStorage):
    def get_available_name(self, name, *args, **kwargs):
        if self.exists(name):
            os.remove(os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, name))
        return super().get_available_name(name, *args, **kwargs)

No other changes was required.

Another way yo do this:

from django.core.files.storage import FileSystemStorage

class AvatarStorage(FileSystemStorage):

    def get_available_name(self, name, *args, **kwargs):
        self.delete(name)
        return super().get_available_name(name, *args, **kwargs)

The delete method check if the file exists. So these 3 line are enough. I hope this help somebody
