Question

i have a problem in this method when i try to call it from another file it saves perfectly in the db and the values are updated (the points are added to the contractor) but i don’t understand how when i call it in another file (other than the first one ) it only save the value inside the method but once it was out of the method the value wasn’t saved it returned back (checked by printing )

def add_points_cont(contractor_id , action_name):
    contractor = Contractor.objects.get(id=contractor_id)
    action = Action.objects.get(name=action_name)
    toBeAdded = action.points
    totalPoints = contractor.points+toBeAdded
    contractor.points = totalPoints
    contractor.save()

Answer 1

you may pass the method another parameter

def add_points_cont(contractor=None , action_name):

you pass the contractor into method
