added associate_by_email to pipeline but still adding new account when i login with a social account about python-social-auth

[omab]

@Vargi, move associate_by_email above create_user.

This solve the exact same issue for me, thanks @omab !

[dulacp]

Btw, do not move the associate_user above the create_user, like said before, only associate_by_email.

SOCIAL_AUTH_PIPELINE = (
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_details',
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_uid',
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.auth_allowed',
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_user',
    'social.pipeline.user.get_username',
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.associate_by_email',
    'social.pipeline.user.create_user',
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.associate_user',
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.load_extra_data',
    'social.pipeline.user.user_details'
)

Will this method work if I have a user registered on my webiste manually( i.e not using python- social-auth) using simple forms , and then he tries to register using some social login using same email address.

[omab]

@aroraprince, yes, that will work if the user has the same email address.

[aroraprince]

@omab I am using the following pipeline:

DEFAULT_AUTH_PIPELINE = (
'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_details',
'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_uid',
'social.pipeline.social_auth.auth_allowed',
'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_user',
'social.pipeline.social_auth.associate_by_email',
'social.pipeline.user.get_username',
'social.pipeline.user.create_user',
'social.pipeline.social_auth.associate_user',
'social.pipeline.social_auth.load_extra_data',
'social.pipeline.user.user_details'
)

but it does not seem to work in the above scenario.A new user gets registered when I try to register using OAuth.

[omab]

@aroraprince, which OAuth backend? Is email being sent by that backend?

[aroraprince]

@omab I have tried using gmail.
My gmail email id was already in the users table but still a new user was created when tried using social-auth.

[omab]

Are you testing with a clean db?

[aroraprince]

@omab Yes, I think there isn't any problem

[omab]

@aroraprince, not sure if I follow, it's working fine now?

[aroraprince]

Yes, I think there isn't any problem with the database

[omab]

I was asking about the DB because sometimes users left the account created by python-social-auth in place, so second attempts are actually getting that account again.

[aroraprince]

@omab I tried logging in using OAuth after manually registering myself.
