Description (last modified by Marco Rizk)

When using a FilePathField as follows

def chunk_path():
    return os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'footage/chunks')

file = models.FilePathField(path=chunk_path, max_length=200)

I get the error stack of

  File "xxxxxxx/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/forms/fields.py", line 1126, in __init__
    for f in os.scandir(self.path):
TypeError: scandir: path should be string, bytes, os.PathLike or None, not function

Resolution: → invalid
Status: new → closed

models.FilePathField() accepts a callable path but forms.FilePathField does not (as documented). It looks like an issue in your code not in Django itself.
