I created a virtual environment for my new project, installed django and started the new project. However, whenever i run a line of code with manage.py i get this long error.
PS D:\My stuff\Website development\Isow website\isow> python manage.py makemigrations
No changes detected

Database Entry:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'db.sqlite3',
}
}
It does seem NAME is being converted to pathlib.Path (WindowsPath) object instead of string which then cannot be used in Django in same way as os.path expects strings (Not 100% sure as did not investigate in depth)
So casting in string would be appropriate
'NAME': str(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "db.sqlite3"))
