current_user = LocalProxy(lambda: _request_ctx_stack.top.user) AttributeError: 'RequestContext' object has no attribute 'user'

[lei-cao]

I'm using flask 0.8.

def _load_user(self):
        if request.path.startswith(current_app.static_url_path):
            return
      ......

The code here will cause the

current_user = LocalProxy(lambda: _request_ctx_stack.top.user) AttributeError: 'RequestContext' object has no attribute 'user' 

error.

I have the same issue

Actually if I use

app = flask.Flask(__name__, static_folder='public', static_url_path='')

I get the error, but if I use

app = flask.Flask(__name__, static_folder='public')

it works, any idea why it is so?

This might be fixed now.

I'm having the same issue when I combine Flask-Login with Flask-Principal...
Inside the routes (@app.route... current_user) it works well but when I try to set the identity in the @identity_loaded.connect_via(app) method it doesn't find the user in the ctx. I'm using Flask 0.9, Flask-Principal 0.3 and Flask-Login (latest downloaded from GitHub today)

I'm having the same problem as @dfrocha

Sorry, we can't directly support Flask-Principal. This seems to be an issue on their end. We haven't had similar reports or been able to reproduce this with just Flask-Login. Closing this.

I have the same issue but am not using Flask-Principal ...

Problem solved for me:
We have to configure flask-login before flask principal.
This portion of code generate an error

app = Flask(name)
Principal(app)
login_manager = LoginManager()
login_manager.setup_app(app)

But this code work fine for me

app = Flask(name)
login_manager = LoginManager()
login_manager.setup_app(app)
Principal(app)

[maxcountryman]

Thanks.

I also had an error with this without Principal installed. But it turned out I had forgotten to call my configure_extensions method that initializes Flask-Login among others. So yeah, that's why the exception was raised in my case.
