Django AttributeError: 'Cart' object has no attribute 'get'

Question

I am getting this error on my django project:

   Request Method: GET
   Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/cart/
   Exception Type: AttributeError at /cart/
   Exception Value: 'Cart' object has no attribute 'get'

and here is carts.views.py:

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect, get_object_or_404
from store.models import Product
from .models import Cart, CartItem



# Create your views here.

def _cart_id(request):
    cart = request.session.session_key
    if not cart:
        cart = request.session.create()
    return cart

def add_cart(request, product_id):
    product = Product.objects.get(id=product_id)

    try:
        cart = Cart.objects.get(cart_id=_cart_id(request))
    except Cart.DoesNotExist:
        cart = Cart.objects.create(
            cart_id = _cart_id(request)
            )
        cart.save()
    
    try:
        cart_item = CartItem.objects.get(product=product, cart=cart)
        cart_item.quantity += 1
        cart_item.save()
    except CartItem.DoesNotExist:
        cart_item = CartItem.objects.create(
            product= product,
            quantity= 1,
            cart= cart,
        )
        cart_item.save()
    return redirect('cart')


def cart(request):
    return render(request, 'store/cart.html')

I tried:

1. rewrite the name of class 'Cart'
2. use objectDoesnotexist instead of DoesnotExit
3. double check the names of the classes in models.py

I am not able to debug this error. I overlooked my codes many times, but cant able to understand where is the error being generated. Thanks in advance.

Edit:

models.py:

from django.db import models
from store.models import Product

# Create your models here.

class Cart(models.Model):
    cart_id         = models.CharField(max_length=250, blank=True)
    date_added      = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.cart_id

class CartItem(models.Model):
    product         = models.ForeignKey(Product, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    cart            = models.ForeignKey(Cart, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='cart')
    quantity        = models.IntegerField()
    is_active       = models.BooleanField(default=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.product

Answer 1

I started using the "Model.objects.filter().first()" instead of the "Model.objects.get()" because of those errors.

You could try this:

 cart = Cart.objects.filter(cart_id=_cart_id(request).first()

 if not cart:
     new_cart = Cart(cart_id = _cart_id(request))
     new_cart.save()

This method gives you all objects with the correct "cart_id". With ".first()" you will convert the giving queryset into one object (You need to do this even if you just have one object in the querset)

Instead of this

    try:
        cart = Cart.objects.get(cart_id=_cart_id(request))
    except Cart.DoesNotExist:
        cart = Cart.objects.create(
            cart_id = _cart_id(request)
            )
        cart.save()

Thank You Abdul Aziz Barakat:

@asdfasdf In path('', views.Cart, name='cart') , did you mean to write views.cart instead of views.Cart ? (Note the capitalization, Cart is your model name and cart is the name of your view)... – Abdul Aziz Barkat 6 mins ago
