title: Object is not an Enum Error
---
# Object is not an Enum Error
## Description
This error is thrown when applying `@strawberry.enum` to a non-enum object, for
example the following code will throw this error:
```python
import strawberry
# note the lack of @strawberry.enum here:
class NotAnEnum:
A = "A"
@strawberry.type
class Query:
field: NotAnEnum
schema = strawberry.Schema(query=Query)
```
This happens because Strawberry expects all enums to be subclasses of `Enum`.
## How to fix this error
You can fix this error by making sure the class you're applying
`@strawberry.enum` to is a subclass of `Enum`. For example, the following code
will fix this error:
```python
import strawberry
@strawberry.enum
class NotAnEnum:
A = "A"
@strawberry.type
class Query:
field: NotAnEnum
schema = strawberry.Schema(query=Query)
```
