I am trying to create a class-based view for SellerOrderListView. in seller\_views.py i defined the view as ```auto class SellerOrderListView(ListView): model = SellerOrder # Use the SellerOrder model template_name = 'seller/seller_orders_list.html' # Create the template for the seller order list context_object_name = 'seller_orders' ``` in app urls.py, import statement is: `from AfriExportingapp.seller_views import SellerOrderListView` url pattern is: `path('seller/orders/', SellerOrderListView.as_view(), name='seller_orders'),` yet, i get this while running migrations: ```auto File "C:\Users\LENOVO E490\Apps\AfriExporting\manage.py", line 22, in main() File "C:\Users\LENOVO E490\Apps\AfriExporting\manage.py", line 18, in main execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "C:\Users\LENOVO E490\Apps\AfriExporting\venv\Lib\site-packages\django\core\management\ __init__.py", line 442, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "C:\Users\LENOVO E490\Apps\AfriExporting\venv\Lib\site-packages\django\core\management\ __init__.py", line 436, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "C:\Users\LENOVO E490\Apps\AfriExporting\venv\Lib\site-packages\django\core\management\base.py", line 412, in run_from_argv self.execute(*args, **cmd_options) File "C:\Users\LENOVO E490\Apps\AfriExporting\venv\Lib\site-packages\django\core\management\base.py", line 453, in execute self.check() File "C:\Users\LENOVO E490\Apps\AfriExporting\venv\Lib\site-packages\django\core\management\base.py", line 485, in check all_issues = checks.run_checks( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\LENOVO E490\Apps\AfriExporting\venv\Lib\site-packages\django\core\checks\registry.py", line 88, in run_checks new_errors = check(app_configs=app_configs, databases=databases) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\LENOVO E490\Apps\AfriExporting\venv\Lib\site-packages\django\core\checks\urls.py", line 14, in check_url_config return check_resolver(resolver) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\LENOVO E490\Apps\AfriExporting\venv\Lib\site-packages\django\core\checks\urls.py", line 24, in check_resolver return check_method() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\LENOVO E490\Apps\AfriExporting\venv\Lib\site-packages\django\urls\resolvers.py", line 494, in check for pattern in self.url_patterns: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\LENOVO E490\Apps\AfriExporting\venv\Lib\site-packages\django\utils\functional.py", line 57, in __get__ res = instance. __dict__ [self.name] = self.func(instance) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\LENOVO E490\Apps\AfriExporting\venv\Lib\site-packages\django\urls\resolvers.py", line 715, in url_patterns patterns = getattr(self.urlconf_module, "urlpatterns", self.urlconf_module) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\LENOVO E490\Apps\AfriExporting\venv\Lib\site-packages\django\utils\functional.py", line 57, in __get__ res = instance. __dict__ [self.name] = self.func(instance) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\LENOVO E490\Apps\AfriExporting\venv\Lib\site-packages\django\urls\resolvers.py", line 708, in urlconf_module return import_module(self.urlconf_name) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.11_3.11.1776.0_x64 __qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\importlib\__ init__.py", line 126, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "", line 1204, in _gcd_import File "", line 1176, in _find_and_load File "", line 1147, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "", line 690, in _load_unlocked File "", line 940, in exec_module File "", line 241, in _call_with_frames_removed File "C:\Users\LENOVO E490\Apps\AfriExporting\AfriExporting\urls.py", line 24, in path('', include('AfriExportingapp.urls')), ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\LENOVO E490\Apps\AfriExporting\venv\Lib\site-packages\django\urls\conf.py", line 38, in include urlconf_module = import_module(urlconf_module) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.11_3.11.1776.0_x64 __qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\importlib\__ init__.py", line 126, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "", line 1204, in _gcd_import File "", line 1176, in _find_and_load File "", line 1147, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "", line 690, in _load_unlocked File "", line 940, in exec_module File "", line 241, in _call_with_frames_removed File "C:\Users\LENOVO E490\Apps\AfriExporting\AfriExportingapp\urls.py", line 42, in path('seller/orders/', SellerOrderListView.as_view(), name='seller_orders'), ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'as_view' ``` ---

When posting code or error messages here, please surround the code (or error message) between lines of three backtick - ` characters. This means you’ll have a line of ```, then your code, then another line of ```. (I’ve taken the liberty of updating your original post.) Single line code fragments can be surrounded by single backtick characters. Please post your complete `seller_views.py` file. Either something isn’t quite as you have described here, or there’s something else in that file causing problems. ---

Hi [Supremebosslife](https://forum.djangoproject.com/u/Supremebosslife), Based on the error message you received, it seems your SellerOrderListView class is being treated as a function. I can think of 3 possible reasons: 1. Check if you have applied a decorator to your SellerOrderListView class in `seller_views.py` which isn’t visible in the code you provided. Some decorators like @login\_required are meant to be used for function based views and returns a function. ```auto @login_required class SellerOrderListView(ListView): model = SellerOrder # Use the SellerOrder model template_name = 'seller/seller_orders_list.html' # Create the template for the seller order list context_object_name = 'seller_orders' ``` 1. You may have accidentally created a function with name “ListView” somewhere in your seller\_views.py ```auto def ListView(): #function based view code ``` 1. Check your ListView import.It should be ```auto from django.views.generic.list import ListView ```
