Question

The relevant part of the code:

pk = int(pk)                              
logging.info('pk: %r :: %s', pk, type(pk))
instance = models.Model.get_by_id(int(pk))       

The output from the log message above

pk: 757347 :: <type 'int'>

The stacktrace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/base/python_runtime/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ext/webapp/__init__.py", line 634, in __call__
    handler.get(*groups)

    % (self.name, type(value).__name__))
BadValueError: Property pk must be an int or long, not a unicode

Anyone has an idea if I’m doing something wrong here?

Note: removing the int from the last line of the code makes no difference (that was the first version).

Also, the code works without a problem on dev_appserver.py.

Answer 1

Does your model have a property ‘pk’, which is now an IntegerProperty(), but was previously a StringProperty(), and the entity with id 757347 was saved with the old version of the model?
