Summary

  • Add prefetch_related("content_object") to ResourceViewSet.queryset
  • Fixes N+1 queries when ?extra_fields=resource_data is requested — each resource's content_object (GenericForeignKey) was loaded individually
  • Django's GFK prefetch groups by content_type, reducing N extra queries to one per distinct type

Test plan

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Walkthrough

The resource view queryset now prefetches each resource’s content_object in addition to selecting its content type and resource type.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Prefetch related content objects
ansible_base/resource_registry/views.py
ResourceViewSet.queryset now prefetches content_object while retaining the existing content_type__resource_type selection.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 54985

This change may reduce N+1 queries for resource_data requests, but it also prefetches content objects for requests that do not use them, adding avoidable database work. Conditional prefetching and query-count validation are needed before merge.

prefetched only when the request action enables resource_data and accesses it,
moving that prefetch into get_queryset() while retaining the existing

ResourceDataField.to_representation() accesses resource.content_object
(a GenericForeignKey) per row, causing one query per resource in the
page. Conditionally add prefetch_related("content_object") in
get_queryset when extra_fields=resource_data is requested, grouping
lookups by content_type and reducing N extra queries to one per
distinct type.

…AAP-88287)

Replaces the placeholder scaffold test with a real proof-of-concept: a single
hard "N queries max" cutoff plus a non-empty-list sanity check, instead of the
old 2-vs-20-object delta comparison used in PR ansible#1103.

Validated locally: this test FAILS against current devel (29 queries for 27
resources -- the known AAP-88287 N+1 in ResourceDataField.to_representation())
and PASSES once PR ansible#1109's prefetch_related("content_object") fix is applied
(verified by temporarily patching ansible_base/resource_registry/views.py
locally and reverting -- that fix is not part of this commit).

This test is EXPECTED TO FAIL until ansible#1109 merges to devel, same as PR ansible#1103's
equivalent old-pattern test. Full shared/non-transactional seeding (AAP-88875)
and the generalized, parameterized version of this coverage (AAP-88876) are
tracked separately; this is a small, self-contained benchmark to validate the
new pattern ahead of that infrastructure.

Hello @AlanCoding once this is merge, the following test will pass as well #1103 and #1110.

…ale tests

Per Alan Rominger's guidance: wrapping each test in pytest-django's default
atomic()/savepoint isolation (@pytest.mark.django_db) can itself add
SAVEPOINT/RELEASE SAVEPOINT queries when the code under test opens its own
nested atomic() (e.g. ansible_base/rbac/caching.py's permission-recomputation
batches used by bulk_give_permissions()), silently inflating the query counts
these tests exist to measure. transaction=True avoids that but truncates all
tables after every test, which would erase the AAP-88875 shared dataset after
the first test in the session.

Replaces the db/django_db-marker dependency chain in this directory with a
session-scoped _unblocked_db fixture that calls setup_databases()/
teardown_databases() directly (bypassing pytest-django's marker-based alias
detection, which would otherwise skip redirecting to the test database
entirely since nothing here carries the django_db marker) and keeps DB access
open for the whole session with no enclosing transaction. Adds local,
session-scoped, idempotent counterparts to admin_user/local_authenticator/
admin_api_client so they don't pull the db fixture back in.

Removes @pytest.mark.django_db from the benchmark test accordingly. Verified
against both a cold (freshly created) and warm test database: seeding still
completes well within budget, the test still fails on unfixed devel (53
queries for 683 resources) and passes with PR ansible#1109's fix applied locally.
