When summing through a One-to-Many relationship on the property of a
JSONField, there is the following error
{{{
TypeError: the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, not int
}}}
To reproduce the error, you can create a model that is linked to another
model with a JSONField:
{{{
class Group(models.Model):
name = models.TextField()
class Membership(models.Model):
group = models.ForeignKey(Group, related_name="memberships")
extra = models.JSONField()
}}}
Then create a group and a membership with an amount in the JSONField:
{{{
group = Group.objects.create(name="Test")
Membership.objects.create(group=group, extra={"amount": 5})
}}}
Finally, a request is made to sum the `amount` property for every group:
{{{
Group.objects.annotate(total=Sum("memberships__extra__amount"))
}}}
Note that the SQL query made by Django is correct but the code still
raises the error
{{{
TypeError: the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, not int
}}}

Hello,
When summing through a One-to-Many relationship on the property of a

class Membership(models.Model):

Finally, a request is made to sum the `amount` property for every group:
{{{
groups =
Group.objects.annotate(total=Sum("memberships__extra__amount")).all()
groups[0].total
}}}
The SQL query is correct and returns the right information but accessing
the data raises the error
{{{
TypeError: the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, not int
}}}

Comment (by Clément Escolano):
OK, sorry for the trouble, I found a solution which is casting the
annotated field to `DecimalField`:
{{{
groups =
Group.objects.annotate(total=Cast(Sum("memberships__extra__amount"),
output_field=DecimalField()).all()
groups[0].total
}}}
I don't know if this is normal behaviour to require casting but I guess
this is OK for me

Yes, this is normal behavior as almost anything can be stored in
`JSONField`, so we assume it's also JSON by default.
