QuerySet, Object has no attribute id - Django

I'm trying to fetch the id of a certain object in Django but I keep getting the following error:

Exception Value: QuerySet; Object has no attribute id.

My function in views.py:

@csrf_exempt  
def check_question_answered(request):
    userID = request.POST['userID']
    markerID = request.POST['markerID']
    title=request.POST['question']
    m = Marker.objects.get(id=markerID)
    u = App_User.objects.get(id=userID) 
    print userID
    print markerID
    print title
    # userID='1'
    # markerID='1'
    # title='Hello'
    at = AttachedInfo.objects.filter(attachedMarker=m.id, title=title)
    print 'user'
    print u.id
    print 'marker'
    print m.id
    print 'att'
    print at
    #print at.id
    if(Answer.objects.filter(marker=m.id, user=u.id, attachedInfo=at.id)):
        print 'pass'
        return HttpResponse('already answered')
    else:
        print 'not'
        return HttpResponse('not answered yet')

The error occurs in the if condition in this part (attachedInfo=at.id). I checked and when I removed it from the condition, everything started working fine.

Here's models.py:

class AttachedInfo(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    helpText = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True)
    type = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    attachedMarker = models.ForeignKey(Marker)
    answer1 = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True)
    answer2 = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True)
    answer3 = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True)
    answer4 = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True)
    correctAnswer = models.CharField(max_length=50, null=True, blank=True)
    optionalMessage = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True)
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.title
        
class Answer(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(App_User)
    app = models.ForeignKey(App, null=True, blank=True)
    marker = models.ForeignKey(Marker)
    attachedInfo = models.ForeignKey(AttachedInfo)
    textAnswer = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True)
    mcqAnswer = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True)
    answered = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.attachedInfo.title

Can anyone help me understand why I'm getting this error?!

I got this error for almost 2 days, the main issue for this error solely depends on two files i.e.

models.py & views.py

I was getting this error because I wanted to create session from email id but it shows their is no attribute email so it wasn't fetching any str object.

Solution:-

models.py

class Register(models.Model):
userid = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
email = models.EmailField(max_length=200)
password = models.CharField(max_length=100)

def __str__(self):
    return "%s %s" %(self.name, self.email)

Create a string for the following you want data from according to your project.

views.py

    if request.method == "POST":
        emailx1 = request.POST['emailx']
        passwordx1 = request.POST['passwordx']
        if (Register.objects.filter(email=emailx1, password=passwordx1)).exists():
            a = Register.objects.filter(email=emailx1).first()
            request.session['session_name'] = a.email
            request.session['session_id'] = a.userid
            return render(request, "index.html", {"a": a})

Use .first() method with your Model.objects method. This have resolved my problem hope it would resolves yours too.

In most cases you do not want to handle not existing objects like that. Instead of

ad[0].id

use

get_object_or_404(AttachedInfo, attachedMarker=m.id, title=title)

It is the recommended Django shortcut for that.

this line of code

at = AttachedInfo.objects.filter(attachedMarker=m.id, title=title)

returns a queryset

and you are trying to access a field of it (that does not exist).

what you probably need is

at = AttachedInfo.objects.get(attachedMarker=m.id, title=title)

The reason why you are getting the error is because at is a QuerySet ie: a list. You can do something like at[0].id or use get instead of filter to get the at object.

Hope it helps!
