[Django]-TypeError: add() argument after * must be a sequence, not Subscribers

✅

The ManyToMany manager assumes that when you do

tour.subscribers = sub

sub is a sequence (tuple, list, queryset) of Subscribers, not a single object. Then doing so is the exact same as doing:

tour.subscribers.add(*sub)

And since sub is not a sequence, it throws such error. I would recommend saving first and adding later. I think it’s also more readable, but it may be just my opinion:

sub = Subscribers()
tour = Tour()
tour.id = "1"
tour.name = "hello"
tour.owner_id = user1
tour.save()
tour.subscribers.add(sub)

Hope this helps 🙂
