I have code on my laptop that works fine, but when I migrate it to my nginx/gunicorn system, I get error “cannot unpack non-iterable NoneType object”. On the form, there are several input choices originating from models. Those work fine. There are two inputchoices that rely on dict and they seem to be the culprit. If I remove them from the template, there are no errors.

```auto
def search_plant(request):
    has_filter = False
    if not request.GET:
        data = models.PlantProfile.objects.none()
    else:
        data = models.PlantProfile.objects.all().order_by("latin_name")
        has_filter = True
    search_filter = filters.PlantProfileFilter(request.GET, queryset=data)
    object_list = search_filter.qs.annotate( #this subquery is from Ken
        is_owner=Coalesce( 
            Subquery(
                models.PlantCollection.objects.filter(owner=request.user, plants=OuterRef("pk"))
                .annotate(owns=Value("Yes"))
                .values("owns")
            ),
            Value("No"),
        )
    )
    return render(
        request,
        "project/search-plant.html",
        {
            "filter": search_filter, #No error if I comment this.
            "object_list": object_list,
            "has_filter": has_filter,
            "url_name": "search-plant",
            "title": "Plant Profile Filter",
        },
    )

```

Problematic filters:

```auto
    bloom_start = django_filters.ChoiceFilter(
        choices=utils.MONTHS,
        method="filter_gte",
    )
    bloom_end = django_filters.ChoiceFilter(
        choices=utils.MONTHS,
        method="filter_lte",
    )
    harvesting_start = django_filters.ChoiceFilter(
        choices=utils.MONTHS,
        method="filter_gte",
    )
    harvesting_end = django_filters.ChoiceFilter(
        choices=utils.MONTHS,
        method="filter_lte",
    )

```

utils.MONTHS is just a dict

```auto
MONTHS = {
    None: "",
    1: "January",
    2: "February",
    3: "March",
    4: "April",
    5: "May",
    6: "June",
    7: "July",
    8: "August",
    9: "September",
    10: "October",
    11: "November",
    12: "December",
}

```

It’s a nightmare to troubleshoot this on remote server and I simply wish I could get the error on my local machine.

The error is caused by something with the {{filter.form.light\_to}} which appear to be non-iterable

```auto
            <div class="flex-col">
                <div class="title">Sun Requirement</div>
                <div class="light-range__inputs">
                    <div class="form__field"><label class="form-label">Max</label>{{filter.form.light_from}}</div>
                    <div class="form__field"><label class="form-label">Min</label>{{filter.form.light_to}}</div>
                </div>
            </div>

```

Can you provide the full stack trace, not just that bit of the error?

Sure, here it is.

Side note: Just like with the code, you need to enclose the tracebacks between lines of ``` to ensure all the data is being shown.

Given that you’re running different versions of Django and Python between the two environments, have you ensured that all your ancillary libraries (such as django\_filters) are compatible in your remote environment?

(You mention you’re using Django 5.1.3 locally, which implies at least Python 3.10. But your remote system is Django 4.2 & Python 3.9, which could cause some version incompatibilities with other third-party libraries.)

Also, I noticed you’ve got `django.forms` in your INSTALLED\_APPS. I’m not aware of any situation where it is used as a Django app - you might want to remove it.

Well, I recreated my venv on the remote computer using python 3.12, which I had to compile first, upgraded django to 5.1 and everything is working fine. Wonderful Python/django.

Will check what this `django.forms` is doing in the INSTALLED\_APPS

I don’t know how many third-party packages you are using in your project, or how you’re building your environment in that remote system, but it _might_ have been less work to first check the versions of the libraries you are using.

Going back to the django.forms in my INSTALLED\_APPS, if I remove the statement, I get a `TEmplateDoesNotExist` error. But that might be off topic.

Also, I am using `django_filters` but I don’t need to have it in my INSTALLED\_APPS which I find strange since it should be there according to [Installation - django-filter 24.3 documentation](https://django-filter.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guide/install.html)

Still get template does not exists with following:

```auto
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    "django.contrib.admin",
    "django.contrib.auth",
    "django.contrib.contenttypes",
    "django.contrib.sessions",
    "django.contrib.messages",
    "django.contrib.staticfiles",
    "django_filters",
    # "django.forms",
    # "debug_toolbar",
    "django_browser_reload",
    "project",
