======================
System check framework
======================
.. currentmodule:: django.core.checks
The system check framework is a set of static checks for validating Django
projects. It detects common problems and provides hints for how to fix them.
The framework is extensible so you can easily add your own checks.
For details on how to add your own checks and integrate them with Django's
system checks, see the :doc:`System check topic guide </topics/checks>`.
API Reference
=============
``CheckMessage``
-----------------
.. class:: CheckMessage(level, msg, hint, obj=None, id=None)
The warnings and errors raised by system checks must be instances of
``CheckMessage``. An instance encapsulates a single reportable error or
warning. It also provides context and hints applicable to the message, and a
unique identifier that is used for filtering purposes.
Constructor arguments are:
``level``
The severity of the message. Use one of the predefined values: ``DEBUG``,
``INFO``, ``WARNING``, ``ERROR``, ``CRITICAL``. If the level is greater or
equal to ``ERROR``, then Django will prevent management commands from
executing. Messages with level lower than ``ERROR`` (i.e. warnings) are
reported to the console, but can be silenced.
``msg``
A short (less than 80 characters) string describing the problem. The string
should *not* contain newlines.
``hint``
A single-line string providing a hint for fixing the problem. If no hint
can be provided, or the hint is self-evident from the error message, the
hint can be omitted, or a value of ``None`` can be used.
``obj``
Optional. An object providing context for the message (for example, the
model where the problem was discovered). The object should be a model,
field, or manager or any other object that defines ``__str__`` method (on
Python 2 you need to define ``__unicode__`` method). The method is used
while reporting all messages and its result precedes the message.
``id``
Optional string. A unique identifier for the issue. Identifiers should
follow the pattern ``applabel.X001``, where ``X`` is one of the letters
``CEWID``, indicating the message severity (``C`` for criticals, ``E`` for
errors and so). The number can be allocated by the application, but should
be unique within that application.
There are subclasses to make creating messages with common levels easier. When
using them you can omit the ``level`` argument because it is implied by the
class name.
.. class:: Debug(msg, hint, obj=None, id=None)
.. class:: Info(msg, hint, obj=None, id=None)
.. class:: Warning(msg, hint, obj=None, id=None)
.. class:: Error(msg, hint, obj=None, id=None)
.. class:: Critical(msg, hint, obj=None, id=None)
Builtin checks
==============
Builtin tags
------------
Django's system checks are organized using the following tags:
* ``models``: Checks governing model, field and manager definitions.
* ``signals``: Checks on signal declarations and handler registrations.
* ``admin``: Checks of any admin site declarations.
* ``compatibility``: Flagging potential problems with version upgrades.
* ``security``: Checks security related configuration.
* ``templates``: Checks template related configuration.
* ``caches``: Checks cache related configuration.
* ``urls``: Checks URL configuration.
Some checks may be registered with multiple tags.

model ``<model>`` is unique. Add ``unique=True`` on any of those fields or
add at least a subset of them to a unique_together constraint.
* **fields.E311**: ``<model>`` must set ``unique=True`` because it is
referenced by a ``ForeignKey``.
* **fields.E320**: Field specifies ``on_delete=SET_NULL``, but cannot be null.

``<model>``.
* **fields.E338**: The intermediary model ``<through model>`` has no field
``<field name>``.

a lazy reference to the ``<model>`` sender, which has not been installed.
Backwards Compatibility
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following checks are performed to warn the user of any potential problems
that might occur as a result of a version upgrade.
* **1_6.W001**: Some project unit tests may not execute as expected. *This
check was removed in Django 1.8 due to false positives*.
* **1_6.W002**: ``BooleanField`` does not have a default value. *This
check was removed in Django 1.8 due to false positives*.
* **1_7.W001**: Django 1.7 changed the global defaults for the
``MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES.``
``django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware``,
``django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware``, and
``django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware`` were removed from
the defaults. If your project needs these middleware then you should
configure this setting. *This check was removed in Django 1.9*.
* **1_8.W001**: The standalone ``TEMPLATE_*`` settings were deprecated in
Django 1.8 and the :setting:`TEMPLATES` dictionary takes precedence. You must
put the values of the following settings into your defaults ``TEMPLATES``
dict: ``TEMPLATE_DIRS``, ``TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS``, ``TEMPLATE_DEBUG``,
``TEMPLATE_LOADERS``, ``TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID``.

Security
--------
The security checks do not make your site secure. They do not audit code, do
intrusion detection, or do anything particularly complex. Rather, they help
perform an automated, low-hanging-fruit checklist. They help you remember the
simple things that improve your site's security.
Some of these checks may not be appropriate for your particular deployment
configuration. For instance, if you do your HTTP to HTTPS redirection in a load
balancer, it'd be irritating to be constantly warned about not having enabled
:setting:`SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT`. Use :setting:`SILENCED_SYSTEM_CHECKS` to
silence unneeded checks.
The following checks will be run if you use the :djadminopt:`--deploy` option
of the :djadmin:`check` command:
* **security.W001**: You do not have
:class:`django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware` in your
:setting:`MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES` so the :setting:`SECURE_HSTS_SECONDS`,
:setting:`SECURE_CONTENT_TYPE_NOSNIFF`, :setting:`SECURE_BROWSER_XSS_FILTER`,
and :setting:`SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT` settings will have no effect.
* **security.W002**: You do not have
:class:`django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware` in your
:setting:`MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES`, so your pages will not be served with an
``'x-frame-options'`` header. Unless there is a good reason for your
site to be served in a frame, you should consider enabling this
header to help prevent clickjacking attacks.
* **security.W003**: You don't appear to be using Django's built-in cross-site
request forgery protection via the middleware
(:class:`django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware` is not in your
:setting:`MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES`). Enabling the middleware is the safest
approach to ensure you don't leave any holes.
* **security.W004**: You have not set a value for the
:setting:`SECURE_HSTS_SECONDS` setting. If your entire site is served only
over SSL, you may want to consider setting a value and enabling :ref:`HTTP
Strict Transport Security <http-strict-transport-security>`. Be sure to read
the documentation first; enabling HSTS carelessly can cause serious,
irreversible problems.
* **security.W005**: You have not set the
:setting:`SECURE_HSTS_INCLUDE_SUBDOMAINS` setting to ``True``. Without this,
your site is potentially vulnerable to attack via an insecure connection to a
subdomain. Only set this to ``True`` if you are certain that all subdomains of
your domain should be served exclusively via SSL.
* **security.W006**: Your :setting:`SECURE_CONTENT_TYPE_NOSNIFF` setting is not
set to ``True``, so your pages will not be served with an
``'x-content-type-options: nosniff'`` header. You should consider enabling
this header to prevent the browser from identifying content types incorrectly.
* **security.W007**: Your :setting:`SECURE_BROWSER_XSS_FILTER` setting is not
set to ``True``, so your pages will not be served with an
``'x-xss-protection: 1; mode=block'`` header. You should consider enabling
this header to activate the browser's XSS filtering and help prevent XSS
attacks.
* **security.W008**: Your :setting:`SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT` setting is not set to
``True``. Unless your site should be available over both SSL and non-SSL
connections, you may want to either set this setting to ``True`` or configure
a load balancer or reverse-proxy server to redirect all connections to HTTPS.
* **security.W009**: Your :setting:`SECRET_KEY` has less than 50 characters or
less than 5 unique characters. Please generate a long and random
``SECRET_KEY``, otherwise many of Django's security-critical features will be
vulnerable to attack.
* **security.W010**: You have :mod:`django.contrib.sessions` in your
:setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` but you have not set
:setting:`SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE` to ``True``. Using a secure-only session
cookie makes it more difficult for network traffic sniffers to hijack user
sessions.
* **security.W011**: You have
:class:`django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware` in your
:setting:`MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES`, but you have not set
:setting:`SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE` to ``True``. Using a secure-only session
cookie makes it more difficult for network traffic sniffers to hijack user
sessions.
* **security.W012**: :setting:`SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE` is not set to ``True``.
Using a secure-only session cookie makes it more difficult for network traffic
sniffers to hijack user sessions.
* **security.W013**: You have :mod:`django.contrib.sessions` in your
:setting:`INSTALLED_APPS`, but you have not set
:setting:`SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY` to ``True``. Using an ``HttpOnly`` session
cookie makes it more difficult for cross-site scripting attacks to hijack user
sessions.
* **security.W014**: You have
:class:`django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware` in your
:setting:`MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES`, but you have not set
:setting:`SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY` to ``True``. Using an ``HttpOnly`` session
cookie makes it more difficult for cross-site scripting attacks to hijack user
sessions.
* **security.W015**: :setting:`SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY` is not set to ``True``.
Using an ``HttpOnly`` session cookie makes it more difficult for cross-site
scripting attacks to hijack user sessions.
* **security.W016**: :setting:`CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE` is not set to ``True``.
Using a secure-only CSRF cookie makes it more difficult for network traffic
sniffers to steal the CSRF token.
* **security.W017**: :setting:`CSRF_COOKIE_HTTPONLY` is not set to ``True``.
Using an ``HttpOnly`` CSRF cookie makes it more difficult for cross-site
scripting attacks to steal the CSRF token.
* **security.W018**: You should not have :setting:`DEBUG` set to ``True`` in
deployment.
* **security.W019**: You have
:class:`django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware` in your
:setting:`MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES`, but :setting:`X_FRAME_OPTIONS` is not set to
``'DENY'``. The default is ``'SAMEORIGIN'``, but unless there is a good reason
for your site to serve other parts of itself in a frame, you should change
it to ``'DENY'``.
* **security.W020**: :setting:`ALLOWED_HOSTS` must not be empty in deployment.
Sites
-----
The following checks are performed on any model using a
:class:`~django.contrib.sites.managers.CurrentSiteManager`:
* **sites.E001**: ``CurrentSiteManager`` could not find a field named
``<field name>``.
* **sites.E002**: ``CurrentSiteManager`` cannot use ``<field>`` as it is not a
``ForeignKey`` or ``ManyToManyField``.
Database
--------
MySQL
~~~~~
If you're using MySQL, the following checks will be performed:
* **mysql.E001**: MySQL does not allow unique ``CharField``\s to have a
``max_length`` > 255.
Templates
---------
The following checks verify that your :setting:`TEMPLATES` setting is correctly
configured:
* **templates.E001**: You have ``'APP_DIRS': True`` in your
:setting:`TEMPLATES` but also specify ``'loaders'`` in ``OPTIONS``. Either
remove ``APP_DIRS`` or remove the ``'loaders'`` option.
Caches
------
The following checks verify that your :setting:`CACHES` setting is correctly
configured:
* **caches.E001**: You must define a ``'default'`` cache in your
:setting:`CACHES` setting.
URLs
----
The following checks are performed on your URL configuration:
* **urls.W001**: Your URL pattern ``<pattern>`` uses
:func:`~django.conf.urls.include` with a ``regex`` ending with a
``$``. Remove the dollar from the ``regex`` to avoid problems
including URLs.
* **urls.W002**: Your URL pattern ``<pattern>`` has a ``regex``
beginning with a ``/``. Remove this slash as it is unnecessary.
* **urls.W003**: Your URL pattern ``<pattern>`` has a ``name``
including a ``:``. Remove the colon, to avoid ambiguous namespace
references.
