I am trying to upload an image following the documentation but getting the error : This backend doesn't support absolute paths. here is my code. models.py `from django.db import models

from django.contrib.auth.models import User from multiselectfield import MultiSelectField

Create your models here.

class profile(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) CLASS_CHOICES = [ ('Class - IX', 'Class - IX'), ('Class X', 'Class X'), ] standard = models.CharField(choices=CLASS_CHOICES, default='Class X', max_length=10) roll_number = models.SmallIntegerField(blank=True,primary_key=True)

bio = models.TextField(max_length=500, blank=True)

# location = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True)
birth_date = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True)
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='profile_pics/', default='img_avatar.png')

class Meta:
    permissions = [
        ('is_student', 'User is student')
    ]
        # ('is_teacher', 'User is teacher'),
def __str__(self):
    return f'{self.roll_number}. {self.user.first_name}  {self.user.last_name}' 

` views.py def handle_save(request): if request.method == 'POST': profile_pic = request.FILES['new-profile-img'] print(profile_pic)

    try:
        instance = profile.objects.get(user=request.user)
    except:
        instance = teacher.objects.get(user= request.user)

    finally:    
        print(instance.image.path)
        instance.image = profile_pic
        instance.save()
        return redirect('profile')

Solved for me

you have to omit the .path write print(instance.image) instead of print(instance.image.path)

Closing as this seems to be solved.
