force_str(urlsafe_base64_decode(uidb64)) returns:

Field 'id' expected a number but got b'<property object at 0x000002553FA59DA0>'.

The above exception (invalid literal for int() with base 10: b'<property object at 0x000002553FA59DA0>') was the direct cause of the following exception:

Code:

def activate(request, uidb64, token):

try:

uid = force_str(urlsafe_base64_decode(uidb64))
user = CustomUser.objects.get(pk=uid)

except (TypeError, ValueError, OverflowError, CustomUser.DoesNotExist):

user = None

if user is not None and account_activation_token.check_token(user, token):

user.is_active = True
user.save()
login(request, user)
return redirect('account_activation_complete')

else:

return HttpResponseBadRequest('Activation link is invalid!')
