NoneType object has no attribute name

Question

in the models.py:

name = models.CharField(max_length=50, db_index=True)
gender = models.CharField(max_length=2, null=False, choices=GENDER_TYPE, blank=True)

in  the context_helper.py:

def get_emp_info(employee):
    
    blood_groups = blood_group_helper()
    genders = gender_helper()
    info = {
        'ename': employee.name,
        'dob': employee.dob,
        'gender': [i for i in genders if employee.gender in i],
        'phone': employee.phone,
        'address': employee.curr_address,
        'emp_id': employee.e_id,
        'bgroup': [i for i in blood_groups if employee.blood_group in i],
        'photo': os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_URL, employee.photo.name) if employee.photo else None,
    }
    return info

and the error says:

  File "C:\Users\Administrator\placement\placement\helpers\context_helper.py", line 109, in get_emp_info
    'ename': employee.name,
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'

What is the problem and how to resolve in it?

Hi, @Prince,

It means the Employee has None.
