Quickstart instructions do not work with Django 2.0.4 about auth0-django-web-app

[JohnVonNeumann]

@aaguiarz I'm back on this problem (probably about to burn a branch), have you guys gotten that Django2.0 version out yet?

[slivingston]

is the error that you get like the following?

'Specifying a namespace in include() without providing an app_name '
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Specifying a namespace in include() without providing an app_name is not supported. Set the app_name attribute in the included module, or pass a 2-tuple containing the list of patterns and app_name instead.

[aaguiarz]

The sample is written for Django 1.x, we'll be porting it to Django 2 in the next few weeks.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm going to give it another honest try once I familiarize myself more with Django and Auth0.

It's great to hear that you guys are planning to keep up with the latest frameworks though. I also need to debug an issue I am encountering with the dotnetcore 2.0 sample so if I make any traction on either of these projects I will certainly make a pull request with my contributions.

Worst case scenario I learn something. 😄

[JohnVonNeumann]

I got it working (not nicely) in Django2.0, if anyone has questions and even suggestions until the tutorial is updated, feel free to hit me up or tag me with your suggestions.

[aaguiarz]

If someone has a PR to submit, we'll happily review it ;)

[JohnVonNeumann]

Alright I got it working fine in Django2.0.4. The only thing I changed was my URLConf to actually use Django2 syntaxing, and make sure your callback url is set to http://localhost:3000/complete/auth0

Note: I didn't actually use this example, I used the quick start django guide on the site.

I am having the exact same problem and would appreciate help! I tried changing

url(r'^', include('django.contrib.auth.urls', namespace='auth')),
url(r'^', include('social_django.urls', namespace='social')),

to:

path('auth/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
path('social/', include('social_django.urls')),

That doesn't give me an error, but it also doesn't work :/ Any idea what I'm missing? @JohnVonNeumann

@bld2104 In Django 1.x, the namespace argument was kept in URLs, but this didn't make much sense as it is used in the app itself. So in Django 2.0, this was replaced by moving the app_name in its place into the app itself, in the urls.py file. I checked social_django and version 2.1 seems to be Django 2.0 compatible (it has an app_name in its urls.py); you can see it here: https://github.com/python-social-auth/social-app-django/blob/master/social_django/urls.py#L11

I noticed your routes in Django 1.x are at the root of the site, and in the 2.x version, they are not. Have you tried this under Django 2.x?

from django.urls import re_path

...

urlpatterns = [
    re_path(r'^', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
    re_path(r'^', include('social_django.urls')),
]

[bld2104]

Thank you @FlipperPA ! That solved the error, but now when I try to go to the login page, I get this error:

"ModuleNotFoundError at /login/auth0
No module named '[MY_PROJECT_NAME].auth0backend'"

If I add app_name = '[MY_APP_NAME]' to my_app/urls.py, I then get this error:

"NoReverseMatch at /login/auth0
'social' is not a registered namespace"

Guidance here is much appreciated if possible @brianjenkins94 @slivingston @aaguiarz @JohnVonNeumann

[bld2104]

Making progress on this - turns out I had auth0backend.py in the wrong place. Once I moved it I am now getting the following error on line 15 of auth0backend.py:

"must be str, not NoneType"

[bld2104]

If I change self.setting('DOMAIN') in that line to my Auth0 domain it seems to work, but is this really a good idea? Is there a way to define the DOMAIN somewhere or a reason this is breaking? If it doesn't matter, I can just go in and manually chance all of the self.setting('DOMAIN') instances to my Auth0 domain. Still would appreciate guidance!

[bld2104]

Update: Jose in support let me know that I can manually type in my domain. That worked, but now I'm facing the error: no such table: social_auth_usersocialauth. I keep trying to run python manage.py migrate, and have followed these instructions but nothing is working.

[windhamwong]

As Django 2.0 is using Python 3, make sure you update the library python-jose file jsoe.py to Py3 format, i.e. print().

[bld2104]

Thank you for responding @windhamwong ! I checked every file in the jose package and can't find a print statement anywhere. I think you are correct that it has to do with Django 2.0 though, because Auth0 support said that they couldn't replicate the problem on django 1.11 with social-app-auth-django 2.1.0. My requirements.txt file is attached (some of those I'm not using and need to delete, I realize the file is long!)

@JohnVonNeumann could you describe what problem you are having?

[aaguiarz]

Re: Django2, not yet, we don't have a date for it yet.

[riodw]

Are their any updates for this?

[albertoperdomo]

Hello @riodw - See #19
Quickstart and sample will be updated in the coming days.

[avanibhatnagar]

@JohnVonNeumann, I know you commented a while ago. But I followed the quickstart guide completely for Django. I am able to authenticate 2 different apps but not using the same universal login - I have raised an issue here:
#27

Let me know if you have any suggestions!
