I am using the latest version of django django 2.2.12
I tried checking for errors before migration with the command
python3 manage.py check
but then it throws the error below
Traceback (most recent call last):

Make sure that you imported os in project-level settings.py:
import os
Add following in DATABASES within settings.py:
'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
In last versions of django, we can do the following settings using str():
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': str(BASE_DIR / "db.sqlite3"),
}
}
if you use Django 3.1’s startproject template. you must use str() function in your settings file.
find this code in settings file
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'db.sqlite3',
}
}
change it to :
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': str(BASE_DIR / "db.sqlite3"),
}
}
or you can use os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
Sounds like you specified a database setting with a Path object, convert it to str().
