AttributeError: '_AppCtxGlobals' object has no attribute 'current_user'

The code was working perfectly untill I reached chapter about API. Now, it points to this file and piece of code:

authentication.py

in line: if not g.current_user.is_anonymous and not g.current_user.confirmed:
error: AttributeError: '_AppCtxGlobals' object has no attribute 'current_user'

Something must be missing on your version of the app. See below where g.current_user is set:

Not really. My code is just the same as yours. Actually I though that: As in the before_request method tha call will be made before every request, how would the g.current_user be defined if you call it in the very before_request method?

[miguelgrinberg]

The verify_password is called automatically by the login_required decorator that is attached to the before_request function. That runs first and sets g.current_user.

It would be useful if you can debug on your side to figure out why the verify_password function isn't setting g.current_user.

Thanks!
I also forgot to set g.current_user = user, the user is set as user=User.query.filter_by(email=email_or_token.lower()).first() before.
