如何修复matchong查询不存在错误？

Question

I have been working on a like system using django and ajax, this like system is very similar to instagram's one. After finishing with the code I started to get a Post matching query does not exist error which has been a pain. I dont see the wrong in my code but I think the problem is on the views.py file because the traceback is triggering a line there. How can i fix this error?

models.py

class Post(models.Model):
      text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
      user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, default='username')
      liked = models.ManyToManyField(User, default=None, blank=True, related_name='liked')

      def __str__(self):
        return str(self.id)

views.py (upload view uploades the form, home displays the uploaded form, like_post is the view in charged of liking and unliking posts and home_serialized os the one that contains the json so that the page doesnt reload when the like button is clicked)

def upload(request):
      print("toro")
      if request.method == 'POST':
        print("caballo")
        form = PostForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
          instance = form.save(commit=False)
          instance.user = request.user
          instance.save()
          return redirect('home')
          print('succesfully uploded')
      else:
        form = PostForm()
        print('didnt upload')
      return render(request, 'home.html', {'form': form})

def home(request):
    contents = Post.objects.all()
    args = {
        'contents': contents,
    }
    return render(request, 'home.html', args)

def like_post(request):
    user = request.user
    if request.method == 'POST':
        pk = request.POST.get('post_pk')
        post_obj = Post.objects.get(pk=pk)

        if user in post_obj.liked.all():
            post_obj.liked.remove(user)
        else:
            post_obj.liked.add(user)

    return HttpResponse()

def home_serialized(request):
    data = list(Post.objects.values())
    return JsonResponse(data, safe=False)

Answer 1

I'm not sure what it says in the traceback. If you could provide that, maybe it'll make more sense. But I assume it's because of the like post_obj = Post.objects.get(pk=pk) in def like_post(request) function.

Post with the given primary key does not exist. What you can do is to check if the pk exists.

if Post.objects.filter(pk=pk).exists():
    # it exist

or you can do a try except method

try:
    post_obj = Post.objects.get(pk=pk)

    if user in post_obj.liked.all():
        post_obj.liked.remove(user)
    else:
        post_obj.liked.add(user)
except:
    # what happens if post does not exist
