here's my code
def subscribe_current_user(self):
user1 = SocialNodeSubscription(parent=self.key)
user1.subscribed = True
current_user = users.get_current_user()
logging.error(current_user)
if current_user:
user1.user=current_user
else:
raise users.UserNotFoundError
user1.put()
The problem is that get_current_user returns None even if i'm logged in. It stores a None in the field user1.user and it prints a None in the log console.
How can i solve that?
Do you have login: required defined in app.yaml for your handler or have you provided a login url using users.create_login_url() so that the user can explicitly login.
Even if you are logged into google somewhere, users.get_current_user() won't
return a user object.
I have seen a lot of similar questions.
It helps to think of this line differently...
user = users.get_current_user()
This line doesn't search high and low in your browser and cache and retrieve whatever info and put it into a nice user object; it simply checks if an user is logged in to the app using the users class. Which means if you did not have the user logged with the users class, chances are this line of code won't do what you want it to do.
The important codes that should usually follow a get_current_user() method:
if user:
greeting = ('Welcome, %s! (<a href="%s">sign out</a>)' %
(user.nickname(), users.create_logout_url('/')))
else:
greeting = ('<a href="%s">Sign in or register</a>.' %
users.create_login_url('/'))
self.response.out.write('<html><body>%s</body></html>' % greeting)
I believed, you surely importing this,
from google.appengine.api import users
And also, Are you really authenticating django's 'User' model at the time of login?
