ValueError - Python Django

Question

I went through forums and did some changes in my codes but the problem is still there. I did migrate and makemigrations, and even deleted migrate and recreate it again.

I also added default=0 to the models.py code:

age = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=0)

I'll appreciate you if you help me on this issue. These are some lines of codes, let me know if you need any other information.

This is the error:

ValueError at /basic_app/create/

This is __init__.py file, line 960-965:

 def get_prep_value(self, value): from django.db.models.expressions import OuterRef value = super().get_prep_value(value) if value is None or isinstance(value, OuterRef): return value return int(value) 

The models.py file:

from django.db import models

# Create your models here.
class School(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=128)
    principal = models.CharField(max_length=128)
    location = models.CharField(max_length=128)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

class Student(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=128)
    age = models.PositiveIntegerField()
    school = models.ForeignKey(School,related_name='students',on_delete=models.PROTECT)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

urls.py file in basic_app folder:

from django.conf.urls import url
from basic_app import views

app_name = 'basic_app'

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$',views.schoolListView.as_view(),name='list'),
    url(r'^(?P<pk>[-\w]+)/$',views.schoolDetailView.as_view(),name='detail'),
    url(r'^create/$',views.schoolCreateView.as_view(),name='create')
]

views.py file:

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.views.generic import (View,TemplateView,
                                ListView,DetailView,
                                CreateView,UpdateView,
                                DeleteView)
from . import models

class IndexView(TemplateView):
    template_name = 'index.html'

class schoolListView(ListView):
    context_object_name = 'schools'
    model = models.School

class schoolDetailView(DetailView):
    context_object_name = 'school_detail'
    model = models.School
    template_name = 'basic_app/school_detail.html'

class schoolCreateView(CreateView):
    fields = ('name','principal','location')
    model = models.School

The issue is your regex capture for pk in the detail route in urls.py, specifically this line:

url(r'^(?P<pk>[-\w]+)/$',views.schoolDetailView.as_view(),name='detail'),

I think you meant [-\\w] as non alpha characters, but what this searches for is a hyphen ( - ) or any alpha, numeric, or underscore character ( \\w ). Thus when you go to the route /basic_app/create/ , 'create' matches the pattern [-\\w]+ and is used as the primary key. Since 'create' is composed of alpha characters and cannot be cast to an integer, you get the error "invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'create'" .

To fix this, I think you'll want to only match numeric characters for the detail route. You could do something like:

url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)/$',views.schoolDetailView.as_view(),name='detail'),
