Question

I'm trying to log-in with twitter using example https://github.com/omab/python-social-auth/tree/master/examples/django_example

The twitter side goes fine with twitter redirecting my into http://127.0.0.1:8000/complete/twitter where I'm getting

OperationalError at /complete/twitter/ no such table: app_customuser

Environment:

Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/complete/twitter/?redirect_state=BLa0NTd6yUIEa47Aa0GimQJs8DK7iFg3&oauth_token=vj8STgAAAAAAkXlhAAABUuA6ldA&oauth_verifier=gUDxqTwS20PRPUlgDEQ3QN7T237qUdAR

Have no idea what's going on with this one.

Answer 1

I've managed to make this work by specifying app within makemigrations command. Please try:

(env)$ python manage.py makemigrations app

Migrations for 'app':
    0001_initial.py:
        - Create model CustomUser

(env)$ python manage.py migrate

Operations to perform:
    Apply all migrations: app, admin, sites, default, sessions, auth, contenttypes
Running migrations:
    Rendering model states... DONE
    Applying app.0001_initial... OK

Answer 2

For your new app you need to migrate new models.

Try python manage.py migrate app and then python manage.py makemigrations app

This should work.

Answer 3

It seems that you created class CustomUser(models.Model) in example/app/models.py and haven't migrated your changes. So if that is so you need to run python manage.py makemigrations and then python manage.py migrate
