Question

When i run the following code i get the error "TypeError: Field 'app' expected a number but got <AppChoices.SUK: 1>"

class Category(models.Model):
      class AppChoices(models.Choices):
            ASK_EMBLA = 0
            SUK = 1

      ---


class SellerReview(models.Model):

 ------
    app = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(

             default=Category.AppChoices.ASK_EMBLA)

    rating = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField()

-----

class RentPostDetailSearializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    ---

    def get_posted_by_brief(self, obj: RentPost):
    
           -----

    rating = 0

    ratings = list(poster_profile.seller_reviews.filter(
        app=Category.AppChoices.SUK).values_list("rating", flat=True)) #---> issue here 

    if ratings:
        rating = sum(ratings)/len(ratings)

    ---

Don't know why is this happening even though the App choices are integers and supposed to be numbers

Answer 1

If the values are integers, you should use models.IntegerChoices instead of models.Choices.

Unless using the IntegerChoices base class specifically, Enum members are not integers.
