Error trying to migrate my database. Typing error

Sorry but I don't know what is happening when I try to run (python3 manage.py makemigrations).
I really don't know what's going on I'm looking for an answer for a while but I can't figure out where the error is:

and this is my manage.py file:
enter image description here

In the error message it says that you need a string instead of 'PosixPath' try turning the path into a string.

You can also use:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
}
}

Simply you can try this way:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'db.sqlite3',
}
}
After adding above code in settings.py file, first you need to delete db file and delete all migration folders of each app and then run below commands:
python manage.py makemigrations appname
python manage.py sqlmigrate appname 0001
python manage.py migrate
And now your problem will solve.

Intellj python test: run individual Django tests

I have Django application inside IntelliJ IDE.
I can run all Django tests by calling the Django Tests runner.
But:
This is a time consuming and not ideal for development, where you would like to rerun one test that fail, and not run all 1000 others that are ok.
IntelliJ has options (UI) to run one test quickly, but this run python tests runner.
I add DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=... inside, but now I get other errors:
django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet.
I was looking to solve this error and I only found :
import django
django.setup()
inside Settings.py
My problem with this is:
I think this breaks normal behaviour of the app. App works normal for different environments.
It doesn't call code after this setup inside settings, so secret_key and others are not installed
This doesn't seam to be really related to tests, but is changing the whole app.
So, I am looking for some settings, how to set the normal python tests, so that they will run as django tests.
EDIT:
Now I change some thinks around and do:
Separate Settings for test
Do all the imports and then django.setup()
Now I get different error:

Please help I can't understand why its not able read the settings even when migrate command is working perfectly fine

Taken from the docs:
Generally, when working on a single Django project, it’s easier to use manage.py than django-admin. If you need to switch between multiple Django settings files, use django-admin with DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or the --settings command line option.
You didn't specify a --settings module (as an argument) in the django-admin, that's why Django complains. Do it like this: django-admin shell --settings=myproject.settings.
Also, from the docs:
The settings module should be in Python package syntax, e.g. mysite.settings. If this isn’t provided, django-admin will use the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable.
You can also do ./manage.py shell

not able to run manage.py runserver

Below is the problem i am facing while running the server.

Your error traceback clearly states that your SECRET_KEY is empty

save this in secret_key.py file, and do python secret_key.py, it will generate you a new SECRET KEY, then just copy new SECRET_KEY inside you're settings.py file.

Since the bug headline does not specify "Django", I expect a number of Python 3 newbies will end up here. Note that the hashable/immutable counterpart to "bytearray" is the type "bytes".
>>> b1 = bytearray([1, 2, 3])
>>> s = set()
>>> s.add(b1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unhashable type: 'bytearray'
>>> b2 = bytes(b1)
>>> b2
b'\x01\x02\x03'
>>> s.add(b2)

I think this is likely to be a bug in mysql-connector-python - does it support Django 1.7.4? Your code works fine if you run it with sqlite.

If the project is on an older version of Django for example 1.11.16, try explicit decoding by calling the method .decode("utf-8") in introspection.py file.
if django.VERSION >= (1, 8):
return [
TableInfo(row[0].decode("utf-8"), {'BASE TABLE': 't', 'VIEW': 'v'}.get(row[1].decode("utf-8")))
for row in cursor.fetchall()
]
else:
return [row[0] for row in cursor.fetchall()]
introspection.py file path:
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\mysql\connector\django\introspection.py
method prototype:
def get_table_list(self, cursor):

I had this error today. I had created my db as utf8_bin collation, which I assume was the reason for it. Dropped the DB, re-created with utf8_general_ci, ran migrations, and it worked fine.
