System check framework

The system check framework is a set of static checks for validating Djangoprojects. 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'ssystem checks, see the System check topic guide.

API reference

CheckMessage

  • class CheckMessage(level, msg, hint=None, obj=None, id=None)[源代码]
  • The warnings and errors raised by system checks must be instances ofCheckMessage. An instance encapsulates a single reportable error orwarning. It also provides context and hints applicable to the message, and aunique 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 orequal to ERROR, then Django will prevent management commands fromexecuting. Messages with level lower than ERROR (i.e. warnings) arereported to the console, but can be silenced.
  • msg
  • A short (less than 80 characters) string describing the problem. The stringshould not contain newlines.
  • hint
  • A single-line string providing a hint for fixing the problem. If no hintcan be provided, or the hint is self-evident from the error message, thehint can be omitted, or a value of None can be used.
  • obj
  • Optional. An object providing context for the message (for example, themodel where the problem was discovered). The object should be a model,field, or manager or any other object that defines a str() method.The method is used while reporting all messages and its result precedes themessage.
  • id

  • Optional string. A unique identifier for the issue. Identifiers shouldfollow the pattern applabel.X001, where X is one of the lettersCEWID, indicating the message severity (C for criticals, E forerrors and so). The number can be allocated by the application, but shouldbe unique within that application.
    There are subclasses to make creating messages with common levels easier. Whenusing them you can omit the level argument because it is implied by theclass name.

  • class Debug(msg, hint=None, obj=None, id=None)[源代码]

  • class Info(msg, hint=None, obj=None, id=None)[源代码]
  • class Warning(msg, hint=None obj=None, id=None)[源代码]
  • class Error(msg, hint=None, obj=None, id=None)[源代码]
  • class Critical(msg, hint=None, obj=None, id=None)[源代码]

Builtin tags

Django's system checks are organized using the following tags:

  • admin: Checks of any admin site declarations.
  • caches: Checks cache related configuration.
  • compatibility: Flags potential problems with version upgrades.
  • database: Checks database-related configuration issues. Database checksare not run by default because they do more than static code analysis asregular checks do. They are only run by the migrate command or ifyou specify the database tag when calling the check command.
  • models: Checks of model, field, and manager definitions.
  • security: Checks security related configuration.
  • signals: Checks on signal declarations and handler registrations.
  • staticfiles: Checks django.contrib.staticfiles configuration.
  • templates: Checks template related configuration.
  • translation: Checks translation related configuration.
  • urls: Checks URL configuration.
    Some checks may be registered with multiple tags.

Core system checks

Backwards compatibility

Compatibility checks warn of potential problems that might occur afterupgrading Django.

  • 2_0.W001: Your URL pattern <pattern> has a route that contains(?P<, begins with a ^, or ends with a $. This was likely anoversight when migrating from url() to path().

The following checks verify that your CACHES setting is correctlyconfigured:

  • caches.E001: You must define a 'default' cache in yourCACHES setting.

Database

MySQL

Security

The security checks do not make your site secure. They do not audit code, dointrusion detection, or do anything particularly complex. Rather, they helpperform an automated, low-hanging-fruit checklist. They help you remember thesimple things that improve your site's security.

Some of these checks may not be appropriate for your particular deploymentconfiguration. For instance, if you do your HTTP to HTTPS redirection in a loadbalancer, it'd be irritating to be constantly warned about not having enabledSECURE_SSL_REDIRECT. Use SILENCED_SYSTEM_CHECKS tosilence unneeded checks.

The following checks are run if you use the check —deploy option:

  • security.W001: You do not havedjango.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware in yourMIDDLEWARE so the SECURE_HSTS_SECONDS,SECURE_CONTENT_TYPE_NOSNIFF, SECURE_BROWSER_XSS_FILTER,and SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT settings will have no effect.
  • security.W002: You do not havedjango.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware in yourMIDDLEWARE, so your pages will not be served with an'x-frame-options' header. Unless there is a good reason for yoursite to be served in a frame, you should consider enabling thisheader to help prevent clickjacking attacks.
  • security.W003: You don't appear to be using Django's built-in cross-siterequest forgery protection via the middleware(django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware is not in yourMIDDLEWARE). Enabling the middleware is the safestapproach to ensure you don't leave any holes.
  • security.W004: You have not set a value for theSECURE_HSTS_SECONDS setting. If your entire site is served onlyover SSL, you may want to consider setting a value and enabling HTTPStrict Transport Security. Be sure to readthe documentation first; enabling HSTS carelessly can cause serious,irreversible problems.
  • security.W005: You have not set theSECURE_HSTS_INCLUDE_SUBDOMAINS setting to True. Without this,your site is potentially vulnerable to attack via an insecure connection to asubdomain. Only set this to True if you are certain that all subdomains ofyour domain should be served exclusively via SSL.
  • security.W006: Your SECURE_CONTENT_TYPE_NOSNIFF setting is notset to True, so your pages will not be served with an'X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff' header. You should consider enablingthis header to prevent the browser from identifying content types incorrectly.
  • security.W007: Your SECURE_BROWSER_XSS_FILTER setting is notset to True, so your pages will not be served with an'X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block' header. You should consider enablingthis header to activate the browser's XSS filtering and help prevent XSSattacks.
  • security.W008: Your SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT setting is not set toTrue. Unless your site should be available over both SSL and non-SSLconnections, you may want to either set this setting to True or configurea load balancer or reverse-proxy server to redirect all connections to HTTPS.
  • security.W009: Your SECRET_KEY has less than 50 characters orless than 5 unique characters. Please generate a long and randomSECRET_KEY, otherwise many of Django's security-critical features will bevulnerable to attack.
  • security.W010: You have django.contrib.sessions in yourINSTALLED_APPS but you have not setSESSION_COOKIE_SECURE to True. Using a secure-only sessioncookie makes it more difficult for network traffic sniffers to hijack usersessions.
  • security.W011: You havedjango.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware in yourMIDDLEWARE, but you have not set SESSION_COOKIE_SECUREto True. Using a secure-only session cookie makes it more difficult fornetwork traffic sniffers to hijack user sessions.
  • security.W012: SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE is not set to True.Using a secure-only session cookie makes it more difficult for network trafficsniffers to hijack user sessions.
  • security.W013: You have django.contrib.sessions in yourINSTALLED_APPS, but you have not setSESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY to True. Using an HttpOnly sessioncookie makes it more difficult for cross-site scripting attacks to hijack usersessions.
  • security.W014: You havedjango.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware in yourMIDDLEWARE, but you have not set SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLYto True. Using an HttpOnly session cookie makes it more difficult forcross-site scripting attacks to hijack user sessions.
  • security.W015: SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY is not set to True.Using an HttpOnly session cookie makes it more difficult for cross-sitescripting attacks to hijack user sessions.
  • security.W016: CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE is not set to True.Using a secure-only CSRF cookie makes it more difficult for network trafficsniffers to steal the CSRF token.
  • security.W017: CSRF_COOKIE_HTTPONLY is not set to True.Using an HttpOnly CSRF cookie makes it more difficult for cross-sitescripting attacks to steal the CSRF token. This check is removed in Django1.11 as theCSRF_COOKIE_HTTPONLYsetting offers no praticalbenefit.
  • security.W018: You should not have DEBUG set to True indeployment.
  • security.W019: You havedjango.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware in yourMIDDLEWARE, but X_FRAME_OPTIONS is not set to'DENY'. The default is 'SAMEORIGIN', but unless there is a good reasonfor your site to serve other parts of itself in a frame, you should changeit to 'DENY'.
  • security.W020: ALLOWED_HOSTS must not be empty in deployment.
  • security.W021: You have not set theSECURE_HSTS_PRELOAD setting to True. Without this, your sitecannot be submitted to the browser preload list.

Signals

  • signals.E001: <handler> was connected to the <signal> signal witha lazy reference to the sender <app label>.<model>, but app <app label>isn't installed or doesn't provide model <model>.

Templates

The following checks verify that your TEMPLATES setting is correctlyconfigured:

  • templates.E001: You have 'APP_DIRS': True in yourTEMPLATES but also specify 'loaders' in OPTIONS. Eitherremove APP_DIRS or remove the 'loaders' option.
  • templates.E002: string_if_invalid in TEMPLATESOPTIONS must be a string but got: {value}({type}).

Translation

The following checks are performed on your translation configuration:

  • translation.E001: You have provided an invalid value for theLANGUAGE_CODE setting.

URLs

The following checks are performed on your URL configuration:

  • urls.W001: Your URL pattern <pattern> usesinclude() with a route ending with a $. Remove thedollar from the route to avoid problems including URLs.
  • urls.W002: Your URL pattern <pattern> has a route beginning witha /. Remove this slash as it is unnecessary. If this pattern is targetedin an include(), ensure the include()pattern has a trailing /.
  • urls.W003: Your URL pattern <pattern> has a nameincluding a :. Remove the colon, to avoid ambiguous namespacereferences.
  • urls.E004: Your URL pattern <pattern> is invalid. Ensure thaturlpatterns is a list of path() and/orre_path() instances.
  • urls.W005: URL namespace <namespace> isn't unique. You may not beable to reverse all URLs in this namespace.
  • urls.E006: The MEDIA_URL/ STATIC_URL setting mustend with a slash.
  • urls.E007: The custom handlerXXX view 'path.to.view' does nottake the correct number of arguments (…).
