The basic problem is that in a Flask application trying to return a MongoDB document I get the error
TypeError: Object of type 'BaseQuerySet' is not JSON serializable
the get method is the following:
def get(self, projectId):
response = MyObject.objects(project=projectId)
return response , 200, None
There may be multiple objects with the same projectId so a BaseQuerySet is returned.
I tried using BSON json_util (as suggested here: JSON serializing Mongodb) but the code below:
response=bson.json_util.dumps(response)
returns just the list of the document's fields without any value.
The only workaround I figure is to return a naive string concatenation of the fields I need. The same code was working fine few time ago, have anyone got a similar problem?
EDIT
The Class MyObject is like to the one below:
from flask_mongoengine import MongoEngine
from mongoengine.fields import *
db = MongoEngine()
class User(db.Document):
email = db.StringField(max_length=120)
project = db.StringField(db.StringField(max_length=64))
creation_date = db.DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now)
modified_date = db.DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now)
