expected string or buffer ,date_re.match(value) django error

Question

I want to extent custom user model in django.I copy paste code from django official website. When i want to migrate it it throw error

TypeError: expected str         


        

Answer 1

Your problem is this line in your migration file:

field=models.DateField(default=1),

Change it to

field=models.DateField(null=True),

or

field=models.CharField(max_length=20),

Answer 2

yes, the semicolon at the back is removed in order to automatically modify the table in the database, like this line:

signdate = models.DateField(verbose_name="Sign Date", blank=True, null=True)
