[FIXED] how to fix "TypeError: requires_system_checks must be a list or tuple." caused by "py manage.py grpcrunserver" command?

Issue

it's my first time aksing a question here so please take easy on me if I do it bad (or whatever) and help! Thanks.

I have a project in which I need to use django_grpc_framework, and I've implemented the code but when I try to run the grpc server using "py manage.py grpcrunserver" I get the following error log:

(.venv) D:\Programming-stuff\PythonProjects\notification>py manage.py grpcrunserver
Traceback (most recent call last):

(versions:Python 3.12.0, Django 5.0.1, djangogrpcframework 0.2.1, grpcio-tools 1.60.0, grpcio 1.60.0)

I've already tried to update django-extensions, but didn't resolve the issue. I also tried to use alternative ways like using "py services.py" to run my grpc server directly but it came up with troubles as well (like not loading apps, and it's not the only one for sure!). any help will be appreciated <3

Solution

Starting from Django 4.1 you cannot use boolean value as requires_system_checks in commands Django 4.1 Changelog and this package is using it in the grpcrunserver command in the 0.2.1 version which is also newest.

Downgrade Django to 4.1 and it should start working
