Re: Proxy User and AUTH_USER_MODEL: TypeError: MyUser cannot proxy the swapped model 'myapp.MyUser'.

The behavior seems expected. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/customizing/#custom-users-and-proxy-models

It looks like if you use a proxy model, then you should import it where needed rather than use AUTH_USER_MODEL.

Hi,

I need help on the topic: Proxy for User model referenced as AUTH_USER_MODEL.

As stated in the doc, needing to add some methods to User model, I tried to make a 'proxy' model.

I made a 'from scratch app', with only a MyUser(User) model, and AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'myapp.MyUser' in settings.py

MyUser has only 'class Meta: proxy = True'

On a ./manage.py shell (for example), I have the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):    File "./manage.py", line 22, in <module>      execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)    File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 363, in execute_from_command_line      utility.execute()    File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 337, in execute      django.setup()    File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/django/__init__.py", line 27, in setup      apps.populate(settings.INSTALLED_APPS)    File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/django/apps/registry.py", line 108, in populate      app_config.import_models()    File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/django/apps/config.py", line 202, in import_models      self.models_module = import_module(models_module_name)    File "/usr/lib/python3.6/importlib/__init__.py", line 126, in import_module      return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)    File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 978, in _gcd_import    File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 961, in _find_and_load    File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 950, in _find_and_load_unlocked    File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 655, in _load_unlocked    File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 678, in exec_module    File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 205, in _call_with_frames_removed    File "/home/npantel/proxy_user/proxy_user/models.py", line 4, in <module>      class MyUser(User):    File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/django/db/models/base.py", line 158, in __new__      raise TypeError("%s cannot proxy the swapped model '%s'." % (name, base_meta.swapped))  TypeError: MyUser cannot proxy the swapped model 'proxy_user.MyUser'.

Anybody already tried to use proxy on User model?

Thanks,
