Exception Type: AttributeError at /rest-auth/login/
Exception Value: 'LoginSerializer' object has no attribute 'object'

This error 'LoginSerializer' object has no attribute 'object' also is in Demo.

In my demo version this works fine - in settings.py I have added these lines:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
        'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
   )  
}

I think you may just need the TokenAuthentication, as in rest_auth/serializers.py the LoginSerializer is defined by extending AuthTokenSerializer.

[PaulGregor]

Thanks @jmb . But error still presents. I have a clean demo(or with your modifications), and if login credentials are correct I receive this error. 'LoginSerializer' object has no attribute 'object'

[jmb]

I just tried the clean demo from the master branch and (apart from adding the rest_verify_email fix so I can verify my test user's email) it works fine for me - even without the settings entries, I get back a key/token. Weird.

HTTP 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
Vary: Accept
Allow: POST, OPTIONS

{
    "key": "90aa22277c5f61b1c85905745e465633f19c0309"
}

I will try another computer and OS, maybe there I'll find luck =)

I had the same issue. And the answer I found (after 2 hours of angriness =)) in "install_requires", here >>> 'djangorestframework>=2.3.13, <3.0'. It means: don't use 3+ version of Django REST Framework. You are welcome! =)

[PaulGregor]

@mariposa8 thank you so much, using djangorestframework <3.0 helped.

[papasax]

thank you so much, using djangorestframework <3.0 helped.

[ConorMcGee]

Anyone have any idea what's causing this in 3.0?

[ConorMcGee]

Made this fix myself, seems to be working fine but I need to do more testing.
