Saving a model with a custom primary key

Hi, I’m not sure if this is an issue or I’m doing something wrong but I picked tortoise for a new asyncio project (previously have been using peewee) and have encountered 1 issue.

I have a model such as:

class User(Model):
    id = fields.BigIntField(pk=True)
    name = fields.CharField(max_length=50)
    created_at = fields.DatetimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    class Meta:
        table = "users"

When I create an instance of it, doing something like:

user = User(
   id = 34553535,
   name = 'username'
)
await user.save()

There’s no error/exception/or any feedback, and the record is not inserted into the database. I know with peewee I’d have to do something like .save(force_insert=True) - but didn’t see anything in the tortoise documentation that would achieve a similar result.

Also, is there a way to tell if the save() is successful? With peewee I’d be able do something like

if user.save() > 0:
   print("User saved successfully")
else:
   print("User did not save")

Thanks for the work on this plugin, I’ve been looking for an asyncio ORM and was happy to find one under such active development.

Just tried 0.15.0 and it raised the exception, going to close the issue.

I think raising a ValueError when trying to override a generated field is good. I’m ok with the current behavior otherwise.

Thanks again, really enjoying tortoise so far.
