I have a *Key in entity A referring entity B. I can put() the data to data store without error but when try to browse entity A from Datastore Viewer, it gives the following error:
'Incomplete key found for reference property %s.' % name) BadValueError: Incomplete key found for reference property ds_key.
it seems blaming the key to be incomplete. If I use NewKey() to acquire a complete key, I need to manually provide a unique string or int ID to the key which is not what I want. I just want datastore generate a key of B for me and I keep that key from entity A.
thanks
Put()
returns a complete Key even when you Put()
with an incomplete Key. You need to
B
(no need to manually provide a unique ID).Put()
B
to the datastore and look at the return value so you have a complete Key for it.A
.Put()
A
to the datastore.Now A
will correctly reference B
.
