Chapter 2: Ticket -Create/Update Comments issue and workaround

MongoDB University M220P: MongoDB for Python Developers
#1

Hi Everyone,
For anyone else trying to go through the course ticket and is having the issue where your pytest is running fine but the api test(from Stats) is failing.
Issue:
The pytest is updating the comment of the movie with comment_id with as ObjectId(<somevalue>) where as the api that is being called from the Stats page is updating with a string as stated on line:

        comment_id = expect(post_data.get('comment_id'), str, 'comment_id')
        edit_result = update_comment(
        comment_id, user_email, updated_comment, datetime.now()
        )

So, as you can see the output of expect() is a string instead of an ObjectId which will make the Stats page not unable to update comment.

Workaround:
As a solution we can add a condition in the update_comment() in db.py file to check if the given comment_id is a string and convert that into an ObjectId().

Ticket: Create/Update Comments not worked

Hallo sir,
Do you mean like this:
response = db.comments.update_one({"_id": ObjectId(comment_id), “email”: user_email},{ “$set”: { “text”: text,“date”: date } })
