'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strip'

Question

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strip'

sunjoomoon opened this issue 9 years ago · comments

django 1.6.10, embed_video, VERSION = (0, 10, 'stable')

models.py

video = EmbedVideoField(_('video url'), blank=True,null=True)

When I save the page empty field from admin, below is returned, what could cause this? But if I put youtube url, then it is saved okay and all in good shape.

@sunjoomoon are you using any 3rd party apps? I'm also getting this error but with Django 1.8 and model translation.

I think the issue here is to with initialising with null=True, I presume Django does a strip() and this is what causes the error.

As per the thread here remove null=True and that fixes the problem.

Long time, yes indeed. somehow at the database level that is not quite happy with null value. As you said removing null=True did the job.
