Field 'id' expected a number but got <SimpleLazyObject:...

Using Django Mystery Errors
1

I’m working on an insta clone made with django to hone my skills. while working onthis project it was almost complete just finishing a few kinks, I had to leave it for a while beacause of university. when i opened it again after a week or two I started to get this error everytime i run the server. I did not edit the code in anyway shape or form and have spent a month almost trying to fix this to no avail, below I’ll attach an ss of the error and the github repo so you can check the code, I would love any and all help.

p.s: i have no int Id fields in my models you can check for yourself

You’re seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard page generated by the handler for this status code.```

Profile.objects.get_or_create(user=request.user)

the user here is an AnonymousUser, meaning there is no one logged in. You can’t create a profile unless the user has logged in.

4

I’ve tried redirecting to sign in if no user is logged in but i get stuck in an infinite loop of redirects, I’ve flushed the database and tried again but the problem still persists

5

You’re probably redirecting to the login page even if the user is trying to load the login view. Which is an infinite loop of redirects as you describe.

7

can you suggest a work around please I’m completely at a loss

8

You need to show some code.
