So i been trying to make a like function for my q&a website. however, i'm stuck on database relations part of the models.py. I'm getting an error that says
"sqlalchemy.exc.InvalidRequestError: One or more mappers failed to initialize - can't proceed with initialization of other mappers. Triggering mapper: 'mapped class User->user'. Original exception was: Could not determine join condition between parent/child tables on relationship User.posts - there are multiple foreign key paths linking the tables. Specify the 'foreign_keys' argument, providing a list of those columns which should be counted as containing a foreign key reference to the parent table."
This is my code for the user and post class
class Post(db.Model):
id = db.Column("id", db.Integer, primary_key=True)
title = db.Column("title", db.String(200))
text = db.Column("text", db.String(100))
date = db.Column("date", db.String(50))
#Create Foreign Key
user_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey("user.id"), nullable=False)
comments = db.relationship("Comment", backref="post", cascade="all, delete-orphan", lazy=True)
recipient_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('user.id'))
likes = db.relationship('PostLike', backref='post', lazy='dynamic')
and my user class
class User(db.Model):
id = db.Column("id", db.Integer, primary_key=True)
first_name = db.Column("first_name", db.String(100))
last_name = db.Column("last_name", db.String(100))
email = db.Column("email", db.String(100))
password = db.Column(db.String(255), nullable=False)
registered_on = db.Column(db.DateTime, nullable=False)
posts = db.relationship("Post", backref="user", lazy=True)
comments = db.relationship("Comment", backref="user", lazy=True)
liked = db.relationship(
'PostLike',
foreign_keys='PostLike.user_id',
backref='user', lazy='dynamic'
)
def like_post(self, post):
if not self.has_liked_post(post):
like = PostLike(user_id=self.id, post_id=post.id)
db.session.add(like)
def unlike_post(self, post):
if self.has_liked_post(post):
PostLike.query.filter_by(
user_id=self.id,
post_id=post.id).delete()
def has_liked_post(self, post):
return PostLike.query.filter(
PostLike.user_id == self.id,
PostLike.post_id == post.id).count() > 0
my postlike class in the models.py
class PostLike(db.Model):
__tablename__ = 'post_like'
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
user_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('user.id'))
post_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('post.id'))
my flask file for like_action function
@app.route('/like/<int:post_id>/<action>')
def like_action(post_id, action):
post = Post.query.filter_by(id=post_id).first_or_404()
if action == 'like':
session['user_id'].like_post(post)
db.session.commit()
if action == 'unlike':
session['user_id'].unlike_post(post)
db.session.commit()
return redirect(request.referrer)
