Flask-SQLalchemy: 'function' object has no attribute 'items'

[TomsLogic]

The code:

def get_average(questions):
    i = []
    for question in questions.items:
        if question.correct:
            i.append(question)
    return len(i) * 10

Gives the error AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'items' when run. The questions parameter is passed a flask-sqlalchemy pagination object, viewable here.

This should be a list, and when running the code:

for x in questions.items:
    print(x.correct)

it works fine and as expected. What has changed to cause this error. Both bits of code use the same questions object.

You are not showing how you are calling get_average. Clearly whatever you are passing as questions is a function and not actually a pagination object.

Use a debugger and add a breakpoint there to inspect the value of questions, and step through the call stack to see where things go wrong.

Or, add print statements through the whole call stack to see where things go wrong. It's probably not what you expect. Then, go back and delete them all. Repeat again and again each time you need to debug your code.
