Why I am getting "Not Implemented Error: Database objects do not implement truth value testing or bool()." while running makemigration cmd in django

I am trying to connect Django with MongoDB using Djongo. I have changed the Database parameter but I am getting this error Not Implemented Error: Database objects do not implement truth value testing or bool(). when I am running makemigration command.

Please can anybody explain why I am getting this error and how to resolve it?

I have include settings.py file, error log and mongodb compass setup image.

MongoDBCompass MongoDB Local Database Image

The problem is with the new version of pymongo (4.0 from 29.11.2021) which is not supported by Djongo 1.3.6. You need to install pymongo 3.12.1. I had the same problem 2 hours ago.

Installling mongoengine worked for me. command : pip install mongoengine

Changed my pymongo version back to 3.12.1 and now it works and fun fact: it happened on production my client gave me like 20 calls in an hour, it's gonna scare me at night.
