TypeError: argument of type 'WindowsPath' is not iterable - in django python [duplicate]

Question

whenever I run the server or executing any commands in the terminal this error is showing in the terminal. The server is running and the webpage is working fine but when I quit the server or run any commands(like python manage.py migrate) this error is showing.

Answer 1

I got this cleared by changing DATABASES in settings.py file:

change

'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'db.sqlite3',

to

'NAME': str(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "db.sqlite3"))

---

this works

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': str(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "db.sqlite3"))
    }
}
