Can't Upload Image to ImageField through csv file - django

Question

My Django application:
In my model, I use ImageField to allow the upload of images.
In my csv file I have an image path for an image like this:
C:/Users/blah/DjangoProject/abc/abc/csvs/photos/product_1/product-1_1.jpg
In my csv's view I got:
Product.objects.create(product_name=row[0],
slug=row[0].lower().replace(' ', '-'),
product_description=row[1],
price=row[7],
image_1=ImageFile(open(row[8], 'rb')))
The row[8] contains the image's path.
When I'm going to my csv.html using Django's FileField to upload csv file which contain the image's path and product's info, after uploading the product should be created in my database which image should also be uploaded to a filesystem - not storing in database. Instead, I got this error:
OSError at /csvs/
[WinError 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect: 'C:\Users\blah\DjangoProject\abc\abc\media\photos\products\C:'
When I removed the image_1 row in Product.objects.create(), the product was uploaded and added to the database successfully. If I restore the image_1 row in the object creation, I got the same error again.
Does anyone know why?

Answer 1

Try this:
Product.objects.create(product_name=row[0],
slug=row[0].lower().replace(' ', '-'),
product_description=row[1],
price=row[7],
image_1=row[8])
Or
from django.core.files import File;
Product.objects.create(.....,image_1=File(file=open((row[8], 'rb')))
I think you just have to provide the path of the image to be uploaded.
And in your model you have the ImagePath with and upload_to like this:
image_1 = models.ImageField(upload_to="media/styles/")
