Question

I have just started learning Django frame work and got stuck after getting an unexpected error as below:-(I have tried to post all information, which i find necessary to be here)

TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'upload_to'

I got this error while running command python manage.py makemigrations My project contains only one Model class Products

My Model Class:-

from django.db import models


# Create your models here.
class Products(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=25)
    price = models.IntegerField()
    description = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    pic = models.DateTimeField(upload_to="myimages")

I am added my app in INSTALLED_APPS fields in setting.py

Thanks in advance. Hope to here from you soon.

Answer 1

It doesn't seem like DateTimeField accepts the upload_to keyword argument.

pic = models.DateTimeField(upload_to="myimages")

See docs.

Were you trying to use another Model Field? e.g., ImageField, FileField

Answer 2

You are getting error because of it. Try with proper field

pic = models.DateTimeField(upload_to="myimages")
