i suspect it's an order of operations issue. i'm no expert, but i bet the parser parses the function definition when the file is loaded and tries to make use of an auth parameter that is not yet initialized. (the decorator is not run until the code is executed....which is sometime after parsing)
perhaps the reason you see this after a few days is because the user got logged out due to timeout/session expiration. given that controller methods can't take parameters.....can't you decorate the controller and then not call this method unless you are logged in? and in the method itself make the default for user_id=None and set user_id to auth.user.id if user_id is None? cfh On Saturday, March 17, 2012 9:54:54 AM UTC-7, backseat wrote: > > I have a function whose definition starts as follows: > > @auth.requires_login() > def rbb_time(category_id, from_date, to_date, user_id=auth.user.id): > > It works fine.
