Hello, When I override the AUTH_USER_MODEL setting to "auth.User", when AUTH_USER_MODEL in settings is not set to "auth.User", in either a TestCase or individual test, and then try to access the objects attribute on the user model, I get an AttributeError.
The exact error I get is: AttributeError: Manager isn't available; 'auth.User' has been swapped for 'None' I've found this to be the case in both Django 1.8 and 1.9. This is easily reproducible in a fresh project : create a boilerplate project with a boilerplate app, add a new user model (call it CustomUser) to the app and set to AUTH_USER_MODEL to CustomUser, and add the following test case to the app: > from django.test import TestCase, override_settings > from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model > > class MyTestCase(TestCase): > @override_settings(AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'auth.User') > def test_custom_user(self): > UserModel = get_user_model() > UserModel.objects.all() get_user_model() retrieves the correct model but accessing objects attribute gives the stated error when running the test. If I throw in another user model (say CustomerUser2) and write a test such as: > @override_settings(AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'another_app.CustomerUser2') > def test_custom_user(self): > UserModel = get_user_model() > UserModel.objects.all() this works fine, and if I unset AUTH_USER_MODEL in settings again everything works as expected. Perhaps someone can shed some light on this behavior? Cheers, Aubrey -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
