Pydantic A URL field received a URL with an invalid fragment.

The URL provided contains a fragment that does not conform to standard URL syntax.

Understanding Pydantic

Pydantic is a data validation and settings management library for Python, leveraging Python type annotations. It is widely used for ensuring data integrity and correctness, especially when dealing with external data sources such as JSON APIs. By defining data models with Pydantic, developers can automatically validate input data against these models, catching errors early in the data processing pipeline.

Identifying the Symptom

When using Pydantic, you might encounter the error code value_error.url.fragment. This error typically arises when a URL field in your Pydantic model receives a URL with an invalid fragment. A fragment in a URL is the part that follows the # symbol, often used to navigate to a specific section of a webpage.

Example of the Error

Consider a Pydantic model with a URL field:

from pydantic import BaseModel, HttpUrl

class MyModel(BaseModel):
my_url: HttpUrl

# Example usage
try:
model = MyModel(my_url='https://example.com/page#invalid fragment')
except Exception as e:
print(e)

This will raise a value_error.url.fragment because the fragment contains spaces, which are not allowed in URL fragments.

Exploring the Issue

The value_error.url.fragment error indicates that the URL's fragment does not comply with the expected syntax. According to the URL specification, fragments should not contain spaces or certain special characters unless they are percent-encoded. This ensures that URLs remain valid and can be correctly interpreted by web browsers and servers.

Why Fragments Matter

Fragments are used to direct users to specific parts of a webpage. An invalid fragment can lead to navigation issues or errors when attempting to access certain sections of a site. Ensuring fragments are correctly formatted is crucial for maintaining the usability and functionality of web applications.

Steps to Fix the Issue

To resolve the value_error.url.fragment, follow these steps:

1. Validate the Fragment

Ensure that the fragment in your URL does not contain spaces or invalid characters. Use percent-encoding for special characters. For example, replace spaces with %20.

2. Update the URL

Modify the URL to have a valid fragment. For instance:

valid_url = 'https://example.com/page#valid-fragment'

Ensure that the fragment is correctly formatted before passing it to the Pydantic model.

3. Test the URL

After updating the URL, test it within your Pydantic model to ensure that the error is resolved:

try:
model = MyModel(my_url=valid_url)
print("URL is valid!")
except Exception as e:
print(e)
