Edit: Both of the following snippets actually run fine with no errors! It was a typo elsewhere in my codebase.
Is there a way to write an ORM call such that I can get a count annotation of ManyToMany objects and prefetch_related those objects?
e.g.
movies = Movies.objects.filter()
movies = movies.annotate(genre_count=Count('genre'))
movies = movies.prefetch_related('genre_set')
for movie in movies:
genres = movie.genre_set.all()
genre_count = movie.genre_count
This throws AttributeError: 'Movie' object has no attribute 'genre_count', whereas
movies = Movies.objects.filter()
movies = movies.annotate(genre_count=Count('genre'))
for movie in movies:
genre_count = movie.genre_count
works fine
