#24789: Minor error in Customizing authentication in Django / Referencing the
User
model
-------------------------------+--------------------
Reporter: cdrice | Owner: nobody
Type: Bug | Status: new
Component: Documentation | Version: 1.7
Severity: Normal | Keywords:
Triage Stage: Unreviewed | Has patch: 0
Easy pickings: 1 | UI/UX: 0
-------------------------------+--------------------
The example code under:
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/auth/customizing
/#referencing-the-user-model]
defines and registers a method:
{{{
def post_save_receiver(signal, sender, instance, **kwargs):
pass
post_save.connect(post_save_receiver, sender=settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)
}}}
However, these (signal, sender, instance) appear to be the incorrect
positional arguments for a post_save signal (which might start as: sender,
instance, created), as documented:
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/signals/#post-save]
I believe a corrected version of the example code would read:
{{{
def post_save_receiver(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
pass
post_save.connect(post_save_receiver, sender=settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)
}}}
A cursory review of the document versions shows this was introduced to the
documentation in 1.7 and is also present in 1.8 and Dev.
This is my first bug report; please forgive me and point me in the right
direction if I have completed any fields or information incorrectly.
Thank you!
