POGoogle App Engine : Get User Object from Webapp2 Cached Property (current_user)
text
Body
copied!<p>What i am trying to achieve is getting the user object from the webapp2.cached property. i have a method defined in my request handler which gives me the current user.</p> <pre><code>@webapp2.cached_property def current_user(self): user_dict = self.auth.get_user_by_session() return self.auth.store.user_model.get_by_id(user_dict['user_id']) </code></pre> <p>I want to get the User Object because it is a UserProperty() of one of my models which is as follows:</p> <pre><code>class CountryImage(db.Model): image = db.BlobProperty() user = db.UserProperty() country = db.ReferenceProperty(Country) approved = db.BooleanProperty(default=False) </code></pre> <p>Now when the upload form is posted, everything works fine except for the "user" which shows as "None" in the datastore.</p> <p>The possible reason i found while i was playing with it in the interactive console was that the method current_user passes a web cached property and not the actual user object.</p> <p>For Example:</p> <pre><code>< webapp2.cached_property object at 0xb46aee8c > </code></pre> <p>Now my question is what would be the best possible way of retrieving the user object ? Thanks in advance for all your help.</p> <p>Amyth</p> <p>PS: EDIT:</p> <p>following is the code where i am trying to store the image in the datastore:</p> <pre><code>NewImg = models.CountryImage() NewImg.image = self.request.get('image') NewImg.user = self.current_user NewImg.country = models.Country.all().filter("url_name =", country).get() continue_url = self.request.url NewImg.put() </code></pre> <p>PS:</p> <p>Just to add i have also tried using "users.get_current_user()" method which also returns "None"</p>
