Django NameError: name 'model' is not defined

Question

I am altering an existing application so I can expand the use case a bit. I have already created a new model and altered the view and template a bit. Now I want to run migrations, but I keep getting the NameError and a Google search didn't provide me with much more information, especially since I am adding things to a working application rather than creating something from scratch. Is anyone able to help me?

I have added the following line to admin.py: admin.site.register(InputData)

the error:

NameError: name 'InputData' is not defined

EDIT: I have solved it myself. Turns out there was an 'init' file where all models had to be referenced in order to use them in Admin.

Answer 1

这很可能意味着您没有在admin.py文件中导入“ InputData”。

Answer 2

The last two lines of your error give me the idea that you might have forgotten to import 'InputData' class in admin.py file.

File "C:\var\www\SYSTEM\System\service_development\admin.py", line 201, in <module>
    admin.site.register(InputData)
NameError: name 'InputData' is not defined

Import 'InputData' class in admin.py and you are good to go :)
