I am trying to return an INT 'id' from a particular table in my database when i try this
retrieveID = "SELECT id FROM posts WHERE usernick=?"
latestPost = cursor.execute(retrieveID,(usernick, ))
if latestPost:
return latestPost
else:
return None
I return
AssertionError: <class 'int'> != <class 'sqlite3.Cursor'> error
I am trying to test it against a webtest.
I have also tried the
int(cursor.execute(retrieveID, (usernick,))
But I am unable to convert the cursor to an in. I was wondering if there is a way to do so and if there isn't how do I go about fixing this issue
You have to get an element from the cursor first, e.g.
cursor.execute(...)
post_id = cursor.fetchone()[0]
or use cursor.fetchall()
if there are many rows for that query
cursor.execute(...)
for row in cursor.fetchall():
post_id = row[0]
