How to request GET parameters in templates for a list of files?(Django Zip File Download Issue)

问题

I want to download all the single or multiple files created by the function by zipping them.

The problem is with templates. Please suggest properly to pass the GET parameters for a list of files I got an error :

FileNotFoundError at /test/
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '['

This is the error for improperly placing the query string that is referring to the list of files.

My views are as follows:

def submit(request):
    def file_conversion(input_file,output_file_pattern,chunk_size):
            output_filenames = []
            with open(input_file,"r+") as fin:
    # ignore headers of input files
                for i in range(1):
                    fin.__next__()
            
                reader = csv.reader(fin, delimiter=',')
                
                
                for i, chunk in enumerate(chunked(reader, chunk_size)):
                    output_filename = output_file_pattern.format(i)
                    with open(output_filename, 'w', newline='') as fout:
                        output_filenames.append(output_filename)
                        writer = csv.writer(fout, reader, delimiter='^')
                        writer.writerow(fed_headers)
                        writer.writerows(chunk)
                            # print("Successfully converted into", output_file)
                return output_filenames

    paths = file_conversion(input_file,output_file+'{01}.csv',10000)
    # paths return a list of filenames that are created like output_file1.csv,output_file2.csv can be of any limit
    # when i tried paths[0], it returns output_file1.csv
    context = {'paths' :paths}

def test_download(request):
    paths = request.GET.get('paths')
    context ={'paths': paths}
    response = HttpResponse(content_type='application/zip')
    zip_file = zipfile.ZipFile(response, 'w')
    for filename in paths:
        zip_file.write(filename)
    zip_file.close()
    response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename='+'converted files'
    return response

templates

<p> 
<a href ="{% url 'test_download' %}?paths={{ paths|urlencode }} " download>Converted Files</a> </p>
<br>

Help me to find the issue here.

Issue:

the ?path is looking for file but it has found the list.

Then I tried:

def test_download(request):
    paths = request.GET.getlist('paths')
    context ={'paths': paths}
    response = HttpResponse(content_type='application/zip')
    zip_file = zipfile.ZipFile(response, 'w')
    for filename in paths:
         zip_file.write(filename)
    zip_file.close()
    response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename='+'converted files'
    return response

templates :

<p> <a href ="{% url 'test_download' %}?paths=path1 " download>Converted Files</a> </p>
<br>

It looks for the file as

FileNotFoundError at /test/
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/rikesh/Projects/FedMall/main/temp/47QSHA19D003A_UPDATE_20210113_{:01}.csv'

the file path should be :

/home/rikesh/Projects/FedMall/main/temp/47QSHA19D003A_UPDATE_20210113_0.csv

回答1:

request.GET.get('paths') returns a string representation of your list of paths, not a list object. The returned value would be like this "['/path/file1', 'path/file2']". When you iterate through paths, it actually iterates through each char in your string. That is why it first tries to find a directory with the name [.

To pass a list of file paths to a GET request, you would need to change your url to this

<your_url>?paths=path1&paths=path2&paths=path3...

In your Python code, get the file paths with this

request.GET.getlist('paths')
