Hi all,

i have below configs in my virtual env running on my Ubuntu 22.04 server

Django==4.2.5 Python==3.11.5 django-filter==23.3

settings.py

'DEFAULT_FILTER_BACKENDS': [ 'django_filters.rest_framework.DjangoFilterBackend', ],

models.py

class Labroom_SpaceUtilisation(models.Model): Tpname = models.CharField(max_length=150, unique=False, null=True, blank=True) Program = models.CharField(max_length=150, unique=False, null=True, blank=True) Labroom = models.CharField(max_length=150, unique=False, null=True, blank=True) FreeSpace = models.CharField(max_length=150, unique=False, null=True, blank=True) TotalSpace = models.CharField(max_length=150, unique=False, null=True, blank=True)

    def __int__(self):
        return self.id

   class Meta:
        ordering = ('id',)
        verbose_name_plural = "Lab Room Utilization"

filters.py

from django_filters import rest_framework as filters from django_filters import FilterSet from .models import Labroom_SpaceUtilisation

class LabroomFilters(FilterSet): Tpname = filters.CharFilter('Tpname') Program = filters.CharFilter('Program') Labroom = filters.CharFilter('Labroom')

   class Meta:
         model = Labroom_spaceUtilisation
         fields = ['Tpname','Program','Labroom']

when i run the server i get the below error

AttributeError: type object 'Labroom_SpaceUtilisation' has no attribute '_meta'

what is the issue, is it issue with the version i have isntalled (compatibility issue ?)

Please help me with this

There's some problem with your models...

Labroom_SpaceUtilisation — I'd try following Python/Django's naming conventions to begin: LabroomSpaceUtilisation and tp_name, program etc.

Comment out the FilterSet and try loading your models in the Admin first.

This isn't really a Django-Filter issue, sorry. Good luck.
