Django 4.1 implementing Custom JSON Response in View Returning Empty Data
Could someone explain I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock. I'm having trouble with a view in Django 4.1 that is supposed to return a JSON response with serialized data from a queryset. The scenario arises when I try to return a custom JSON response using Django's `JsonResponse`, but the response comes back empty. I have the following code in my view: ```python from django.http import JsonResponse from .models import MyModel def my_view(request): queryset = MyModel.objects.filter(active=True) response_data = [] for obj in queryset: response_data.append({ 'id': obj.id, 'name': obj.name, 'value': obj.value }) return JsonResponse(response_data, safe=False) ``` When I hit this endpoint, I expect to receive a list of dictionaries containing the `id`, `name`, and `value` fields of active `MyModel` instances, but instead, I get an empty JSON array `[]`. I've verified that the database actually contains active records, so I'm not sure why the queryset is returning no results. I've also tried printing the queryset before the loop: ```python print(queryset) ``` This prints out `<QuerySet []>`, which leads me to believe the filter might not be working as intended. I've checked the `active` field in `MyModel` and confirmed it's a boolean field. To further debug, I tried running the same filter directly in the Django shell, and it returns the expected results: ```bash django-admin shell >>> from myapp.models import MyModel >>> MyModel.objects.filter(active=True) <QuerySet [<MyModel: Object 1>, <MyModel: Object 2>]> ``` Could there be some middleware or setting interfering with the queryset in the view? I've tried disabling any custom middleware but still encounter the same scenario. Any ideas on what might be causing this behavior? This is part of a larger web app I'm building. Am I missing something obvious? This is my first time working with Python stable. My development environment is macOS. Is there a simpler solution I'm overlooking? For reference, this is a production mobile app. I appreciate any insights!
