Django: TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not

Question

Please help! I tried searching for an answer, but I think this issue is too specific to have a generalized enough solution.

It's very difficult for me to pin point when, exactly, it is that this error started. I've Attempted too many changes now to know when the site was last working. I'm very new to this. And entirely self-taught, at that. I can assure you, it will be apparent.

when attempting to migrate I receive this error:

I'm going insane, and have no idea where to start! Please help!

Why did you cut the last part of the error message? not <what>? — Bakuriu

This appears to be copied from a partial screen grab, with lots of it cut off. Please post the entire error traceback. — John Gordon

@JohnGordon it actually is the whole message. It just kind of cuts off there and that's part of my confusion. That really is the entire error traceback. — Josh Carvin

Problem solved, thanks to @MosesKoledoye.

I deleted the migrations folder inside the app that was causing the problem. And recreated it by running 'python manage.py makemigrations <appname>' I then migrated to the server, and everything was great.

Thank you, @MosesKoledoye

This does not answer the original question, but it may help others who end up here based on the title.

One of many ways to get this error message is to use get_or_create() and forget it actually returns a tuple, as in the following example.

foo = Foo.objects.get_or_create(some_attribute='something')  # foo is actually a tuple...
Bar.objects.get_or_create(foo=foo)  # this will raise the error

The second call to get_or_create() raises the error (at least in Django 2.2):

TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'Foo'

This message is not very helpful, in my opinion. Note that a similar (erroneous) call to Bar.objects.create(), instead of get_or_create(), does yield a very clear error message.

The solution in this case is simple:

foo, created = Foo.objects.get_or_create(...
