custom user model problem

[berkaytheunicorn]

in auth.py
from .mongo_auth import get_user_document

this raise import error

i changed it with

from .mongo_auth.models import get_user_document

so far so good.

With 0.8.6 I get the following traceback when running "manage.py runserver":

./manage.py runserver

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'User'

It seems that get_user_document is imported too early in auth.py. During import of models.py "contribute_to_class" is called, which in turn tries to import auth.User which isn't defined at this point.

I get the exact same error. @andialbrecht did you find a solution?

[andialbrecht]

@denisvlr no, I had no time to investigate further as I'm using it in a toy project which is very low on my priority list. For now I've justed pinned to revision 16dcf78

[mgoffin]

Just hit this today myself. I might have time tomorrow to look into it but I'm not sure.

Hey guys - I had the same exception - opened issue #545 for this with a quick fix (see issue details for this).

[smalliao]

Hi, I have an issue. When I run the django project with mongoengine, it showed an error message:'module' object has no attribute 'User'
Django Version: 1.6.1
Exception Type: AttributeError
Exception Value:
'module' object has no attribute 'User'
Exception Location: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mongoengine/django/mongo_auth/models.py in get_user_document, line 30
Python Executable: /usr/bin/python
Python Version: 2.7.3
Python Path:
['/usr/lib/python2.7',
'/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-linux2',
'/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk',
'/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old',
'/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages',
'/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages',
'/home/xinru/projects/market']

I wonder why it would get such an error. Could anybody tell me why? Thanks in advance.

[budowski]

Yes, see issue #545 for a quick fix. Hopefully they'll do an official
release of this soon.

That's strange, in my local ubantu system, it runs ok. But in the server's, the problem is as I mentioned before. Is the reason different version of mongoengine of something else?

[budowski]

Yes, it's only on MongoEngine 0.8.5 and 0.8.6.
