function ensure_document_version_share_attributes
Ensures a DocumentVersion object has share_id and share_url attributes, initializing them to None if missing and persisting changes to the database.

simple
Purpose
This function performs defensive attribute checking and initialization for DocumentVersion objects to ensure they have the required share_id and share_url attributes. It's used to handle schema evolution or missing attributes on legacy objects, preventing AttributeError exceptions when accessing these fields. The function attempts to save changes to the database if attributes were added.

Parameter Details
version: A DocumentVersion model instance to check and potentially update. Must be a valid DocumentVersion object with a 'uid' attribute and a 'save()' method for persisting changes to the database.
Return Value
Type: bool
Returns a boolean value: True if the share attributes already existed or were successfully initialized and saved (or no save was needed), False if an error occurred during the save operation or attribute checking process.
Dependencies

Required Imports
import logging
from CDocs.models.document import DocumentVersion
Usage Example
from CDocs.models.document import DocumentVersion
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
# Retrieve a document version instance
doc_version = DocumentVersion.objects.get(uid='some-uid')
# Ensure share attributes exist
success = ensure_document_version_share_attributes(doc_version)
if success:
print(f"Share attributes ensured for version {doc_version.uid}")
# Now safe to access share_id and share_url
print(f"Share ID: {doc_version.share_id}")
print(f"Share URL: {doc_version.share_url}")
else:
print("Failed to ensure share attributes")
Best Practices
- Ensure a logger instance is configured before calling this function to capture diagnostic information
- This function modifies the database if attributes are missing, so use within appropriate transaction boundaries
- The function returns False on save errors but True if attributes already exist, so check return value carefully
- Consider calling this function during application startup or migration scripts to ensure all DocumentVersion instances have required attributes
- The function uses hasattr() which may not detect properties or descriptors; ensure share_id and share_url are simple attributes
- Handle the False return value appropriately as it indicates a database save failure that may require retry logic
