New device auto set active=False

[peeomid]

Hi,

I'm getting a weird issue, can't seem to find out the reason why, as the default value in device model of active field is set to True.
However when I try to create a new device (without explicitly pass active), active is automatically set to False.

Seems like extra_kwargs = {"active": {"default": True}} doesn't work as expected. Only when active is added to read_only_fields then it works.

Anyone get the same issue?
Thanks

Just a side note, rest_framework.py, under DeviceViewSetMixin, there's this:

if (SETTINGS["ONE_DEVICE_PER_USER"] and
                    self.request.data.get('active', True)):
                FCMDevice.objects.filter(user=self.request.user).update(
                    active=False)

In case active is not pass, then that `self.request.data.get('active') will give back None, which will make the condition False right?

Why would you pass that as extra kwargs if it's already defaulted to active?

I'm also facing same issue.

@xtrinch extra kwargs sets active to true using below code.

in DeviceSerializerMixin's Meta class
extra_kwargs = {"active": {"default": True}}

but extra_kwargs gets override when
FCMDeviceSerializer's Meta class inherit DeviceSerializerMixin.Meta

So I think below code might need some changes

# Serializers
class DeviceSerializerMixin(ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        fields = (
            "id", "name", "registration_id", "device_id", "active",
            "date_created", "type"
        )
        read_only_fields = ("date_created",)
        extra_kwargs = {"active": {"default": True}}

class FCMDeviceSerializer(ModelSerializer, UniqueRegistrationSerializerMixin):
    class Meta(DeviceSerializerMixin.Meta):
        model = FCMDevice
        extra_kwargs = {"id": {"read_only": False, "required": False}}

So when I removed extra_kwargs from DeviceSerializerMixin.Meta class and added it to
FCMDeviceSerializer.Meta in below way

# Serializers
class DeviceSerializerMixin(ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        fields = (
            "id", "name", "registration_id", "device_id", "active",
            "date_created", "type"
        )
        read_only_fields = ("date_created",)

class FCMDeviceSerializer(ModelSerializer, UniqueRegistrationSerializerMixin):
    class Meta(DeviceSerializerMixin.Meta):
        model = FCMDevice
        extra_kwargs = {"id": {"read_only": False, "required": False}, "active": {"default": True}}

Then it works.

If you are agree with this change, I would love to make pull request.

I'm also experiencing this issue on the latest version 0.2.19.
