Provider is not showing up in Django admin and getting ImproperlyConfigured error after setting up django-allauth

[mynewcodingjourney]

I'm encountering two issues after setting up Django Allauth for authentication in my Django project:

• The Google provider option is not showing up in the dropdown list when navigating to the "Add social application" section of the Django admin panel.
• When attempting to access the sign-in page (/enrolled/sign-in/), I'm getting an "ImproperlyConfigured" error with the message "unknown provider: google".

I'm using,
Ubuntu - Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS (VS Code)

Here are the exact steps I followed to set up django-allauth in my project:

1. Creating virtual environment:

python3 -m venv myvenv

2. Activating virtual environment:

source myvenv/bin/activate

3. Installing django and django-allauth:

pip install django
pip install django-allauth

requirements.txt:

asgiref==3.8.1
backports.zoneinfo==0.2.1
Django==4.2.11
django-allauth==0.62.1
sqlparse==0.5.0
typing-extensions==4.11.0

4. Creating django project:

django-admin startproject googlelogin

5. This is my settings.py:

"""
Django settings for googlelogin project.

I've followed this page of documentation to update my settings.py:

• https://docs.allauth.org/en/latest/installation/quickstart.html
• For Github
• For Google

I directly copy pasted github and google config to SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS temporarily...

6. This is my project-level urls.py file:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('accounts/', include('allauth.urls')),
]

7. Now, typing migrate command:

python manage.py migrate

8. Now, I'm creating a superuser account

python manage.py createsuperuser

9. Now at http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/socialaccount/socialapp/add/
   

As you can see in the provider dropdown, there are no items (such as Github or Google). However, according to this video YouTube (timestamp 7:29), there should be a mention of items there before specifying keys and after running migration command.

11. In this condition if i'm creating a html template, configuring it and runing server again with this html:

{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% load static %}
{% load socialaccount %}

{% block extra_head %}
    <title>Sign In to X</title>
{% endblock %}

{% block dynamic_content %}
     <div class="button-container">
        <a href="{% provider_login_url 'github' %}" class="login-button">
            <i class="fa-github fa-brands fa-xl"></i>
        </a>
        <a class="login-button">
            <i class="fa-linkedin fa-brands fa-xl"></i>
        </a>
        <a href="{% provider_login_url 'google' %}" class="login-button">
            <i class="fa-google fa-brands fa-xl"></i>
        </a>
        <a class="login-button">
            <i class="fa-microsoft fa-brands fa-xl"></i>
        </a>
        <a class="login-button">
            <i class="fa-apple fa-brands fa-xl"></i>
        </a>
        <a class="login-button">
            <i class="fa-discord fa-brands fa-xl"></i>
        </a>
    </div>
{% endblock %}

For this, it sometimes gives DoesNotExist at / or ImproperlyConfigured at / errors, pointing out to <a href="{% provider_login_url 'github' %}" class="login-button">. If I remove this line, it then points out to <a href="{% provider_login_url 'google' %}" class="login-button">!

Thanks for reading!

Did you install using pip install django-allauth[socialaccount] ?

Did you install using pip install django-allauth[socialaccount] ?

No,

I've installed the entire package through pip install django-allauth, so it has downloaded all the social account providers, including Google and GitHub...

See this screenshot of my venv directory, which shows that django-allauth for Google exists:

Please read here: https://docs.allauth.org/en/latest/release-notes/recent.html#backwards-incompatible-changes

The [socialaccount] extra makes sure that the dependencies (requests, jwt) for Google are installed. The google provider is always there in your env, its dependencies are not. Can you give it a try?

Thank you for pointing that out!

I've installed the dependencies as per your suggestion, and everything seems to be working perfectly now. Appreciate the help!
