AssertionError: Expected a `Response`, `HttpResponse` or `HttpStreamingResponse` to be returned from view, but received `<class 'NoneType'>`

I have the following model - 

class Userdetails(models.Model):

id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
name = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True, null=True)
userno = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True, null=True

And following View - 

 @api_view(['GET', 'POST'])
    def useroptions(request):        # to create new user
        if request.method == 'GET':
            names = Userdetails.objects.values("name","userno","id")
            return Response(names)

        elif request.method == 'POST':
            count = Userdetails.objects.count()
            serializer = userdetailsSerializer(data=request.data)
            usernos = Userdetails.objects.values("userno")
            names = Userdetails.objects.values("name")
            list_of_names = []
            for ele in names:
                list_of_names.append(ele["name"])

            list_of_usernos = []
            for ele in usernos:
                list_of_usernos.append(ele["userno"])

This gives me this error on CMD -

Internal Server Error: /view/pardel/2/multiuser

You are not returning http response object for POST request. From the django docs:

Each view you write is responsible for instantiating, populating, and returning an HttpResponse.

change your view to return http response for post request.

@api_view(['GET', 'POST'])
def useroptions(request):        # to create new user
    if request.method == 'GET':
        names = Userdetails.objects.values("name","userno","id")
        return Response(names)

    elif request.method == 'POST':
        count = Userdetails.objects.count()
        serializer = userdetailsSerializer(data=request.data)
        usernos = Userdetails.objects.values("userno")
        names = Userdetails.objects.values("name")
        list_of_names = []
        for ele in names:
            list_of_names.append(ele["name"])

        list_of_usernos = []
        for ele in usernos:
            list_of_usernos.append(ele["userno"])
        context = {'data': serializer.data, 'names': list_of_names, 'usernos': list_of_usernos} # change it as per your requirement
        return Response(context)

You are getting this error because you are not returning from your view.

Code should be like this.

@api_view(['GET', 'POST'])
    def useroptions(request):        # to create new user
        if request.method == 'GET':
            names = Userdetails.objects.values("name","userno","id")
            return Response(names)

        elif request.method == 'POST':
            count = Userdetails.objects.count()
            serializer = userdetailsSerializer(data=request.data)
            usernos = Userdetails.objects.values("userno")
            names = Userdetails.objects.values("name")
            list_of_names = []
            for ele in names:
                list_of_names.append(ele["name"])

            list_of_usernos = []
            for ele in usernos:
                list_of_usernos.append(ele["userno"])

            response_dict = {}
            # update response_dict with whatever you want to send in response
            return Response(response_dict)
