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
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
.. _system-check-builtin-tags:
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|

|
|
* **fields.E310**: No subset of the fields ``<field1>``, ``<field2>``, ... on
|
|
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.
|

You must specify which two foreign keys Django should use via the
|
|
``through_fields`` keyword argument.
|
|
* **fields.E334**: The model is used as an intermediate model by ``<model>``,

|
|
You must specify which foreign key Django should use via the
|
|
``through_fields`` keyword argument.
|
|

|
|
* **fields.E337**: Field specifies ``through_fields`` but does not provide the

|
|
effect as using a ``OneToOneField``.
|
|
|
|
Signals
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* **signals.E001**: ``<handler>`` was connected to the ``<signal>`` signal with
|
|
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``.

|
|
registered as an inline on a :class:`~django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin`.
|
|

|
|
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 are run if you use the :option:`check --deploy` option:
|
|
|
|
* **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.
