Python Django Rest Framework UnorderedObjectListWarning

Question

I upgraded from Django 1.10.4 to 1.11.1 and all of a sudden I\'m getting a ton of these messages when I run my tests:

lib/python3.5/site-packages/rest_framework/         


        

Answer 1

So in order to fix this I had to find all of the all, offset, filter, and limit clauses and add a order_by clause to them. Some I fixed by adding a default ordering:

class Meta:
   ordering = ['-id']

In the ViewSets for Django Rest Framework (app/apiviews.py) I had to update all of the get_queryset methods as adding a default ordering didn't seem to work.

Hope this helps someone else. :)
