I am working on a Django project where each user can have an associated vendor profile. I’ve created a vendor profile for a user, but when I try to access the vendor’s shop, it always renders the no_vendor.html page, indicating that the vendor profile does not exist.

View Function:

Here is the view function where I attempt to retrieve the vendor profile:

@login_required
def vendor_shop(request):
    try:
        vendor = Vendor.objects.get(user=request.user)
    except Vendor.DoesNotExist:
        # Handle the case where the vendor does not exist
        return render(request, 'vendorpannel/no_vendor.html')  # Redirect to a page or show a message

    all_products = Product.objects.filter(vendor=vendor)
    all_categories = Category.objects.all()

    context = {
        "all_products": all_products,
        "all_categories": all_categories,
    }
    return render(request, 'vendorpannel/shop.html', context)

Models:

Here are the relevant models:

class Vendor(models.Model):
    vid=ShortUUIDField(length=10,max_length=100,prefix="ven",alphabet="abcdef")


    title=models.CharField(max_length=100,default="Nest")
    image=models.ImageField(upload_to=user_directory_path,default="vendor.jpg")
    cover_image=models.ImageField(upload_to=user_directory_path,default="vendor.jpg")
    description=RichTextUploadingField(null=True, blank=True,default="Normal Vendorco")


    address=models.CharField(max_length=100, default="6,Dum Dum Road")
    contact=models.CharField(max_length=100, default="+91")
    chat_resp_time=models.CharField(max_length=100,default="100")
    shipping_on_time=models.CharField(max_length=100,default="100")
    authenticate_rating=models.CharField(max_length=100,default="100")
    days_return=models.CharField(max_length=100,default="100")
    warranty_period=models.CharField(max_length=100,default="100")


    user=models.ForeignKey(CustomUser, on_delete=models.SET_NULL ,null=True)


    class Meta:
        verbose_name_plural="Vendors"

    def Vendor_image(self):
        return mark_safe('<img src="%s" width="50" height="50"/>'%(self.image.url))

    def __str__(self):
        return self.title

class Product(models.Model):
    pid=ShortUUIDField(length=10,max_length=100,prefix="prd",alphabet="abcdef")


    user=models.ForeignKey(CustomUser, on_delete=models.SET_NULL ,null=True)
    cagtegory=models.ForeignKey(Category, on_delete=models.SET_NULL ,null=True,related_name="category")
    vendor=models.ForeignKey(Vendor, on_delete=models.SET_NULL,null=True,related_name="product")
    color=models.ManyToManyField(Color,blank=True)
    size=models.ManyToManyField(Size,blank=True)


    title=models.CharField(max_length=100,default="Apple")
    image=models.ImageField(upload_to=user_directory_path,default="product.jpg")
    description=RichTextUploadingField(null=True, blank=True,default="This is a product")

    price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2, default=1.99)
    old_price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2, default=2.99)

    specifications=RichTextUploadingField(null=True, blank=True)

    tags=TaggableManager(blank=True)

    product_status=models.CharField(choices=STATUS, max_length=10,default="In_review")


    status=models.BooleanField(default=True)
    in_stock=models.BooleanField(default=True)
    featured=models.BooleanField(default=False)
    digital=models.BooleanField(default=False)

    sku=ShortUUIDField(length=10,max_length=100,prefix="sku",alphabet="abcdef")

    date=models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    updated=models.DateTimeField(null=True,blank=True)

    class Meta:
        verbose_name_plural="Products"

    def product_image(self):
        return mark_safe('<img src="%s" width="50" height="50"/>'%(self.image.url))

    def __str__(self):
        return self.title
    def get_percentage(self):
        new_price=((self.old_price-self.price)/self.old_price)*100
        return new_price

    def get_product_price_by_size(self , Size):
        return self.price + Size.objects.get(name = Size).price

I have a separate app which carry the VendorProfile model:

class VendorProfile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='vendor_profile')
    company_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    contact_number = models.CharField(max_length=15)
    address = models.TextField()
    city = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    state = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    zip_code = models.CharField(max_length=10)
    country = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    website = models.URLField(blank=True, null=True)
    profile_image = models.ImageField(upload_to='vendor_profiles/', blank=True, null=True)
    bio = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.company_name

Questions:

1.What could be the possible reasons for the VendorProfile object not being detected in the view function despite existing in the database?
2.Are there any additional steps I should take to debug or fix this issue?

Thank you for your help!
