Object is not getting saved while using django non-rel

Question

My models.py :

class Projects(models.Model):
    projectName =models.CharField(max_length = 100,unique=True,db_index=True)
    projectManager = models.ForeignKey('Users')

class Users(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length = 100,unique=True)
    designation = models.CharField(max_length =100 )
    team = ListField(models.CharField(max_length =100),null=True)

Now I am trying creating a Projects class object with this code in shell:

user_object = Users.objects.get(name="abc")

p = Projects(projectName="xyz",projectManager = user_object)
p.save()

On p.save() it gives me error:

I dont know why its trying to convert string into int in last line.I dont know how to get rid of this error?

Answer 1

Your problem is most likely with the installation of django non-rel and mongodb-engine. Standard django expects all ids to be integers whereas the suite of packages that make up django non-rel change that to allow the string-based id that mongodb uses.

I would suggest reinstalling your set up following the order defined on http://django-mongodb.org/topics/setup.html

I had this same issue and it was a matter of the installation possibly using the standard django instead of the non-rel one.

My pip requirements.txt has these entries:

git+git://github.com/django-nonrel/mongodb-engine.git@master
git+git://github.com/django-nonrel/django-nonrel.git@master
git+git://github.com/django-nonrel/django-permission-backend-nonrel.git@master

And then I would be able to do: pip install -U -r requirements.txt
