Django issue : django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady (Apps aren't loaded yet)

Help me!
1

Feature(s) impacted

I get this error django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet when trying to start a django server with forestadmin.

Observed behavior

When trying to start the django server either with uwgi.py or manage.py runserver I get the same error about forestadmin app initialization.

I read a similar issue here but the fix “move the init_forest call below the get_wsgi_application call” does not work for me.

Failure Logs

settings.py

        "APPLICATION_URL": "<my site>",
        "FOREST_ENV_SECRET": config("FOREST_ENV_SECRET", default=""),
        "FOREST_AUTH_SECRET": config("FOREST_AUTH_SECRET", default=""),
    }
    APPEND_SLASH = False

wsgi.py

Hi @Jim,

It’s not clear for me, I have to investigate your issue.
Are you sure that you don’t call init_forest in another file ?

Hello @anon6357957 ,

The only place with init_forest() is in wsgi.py. You can check in the traceback.
I can add more log/print in forestadmin if you want to check for other call ?

Hello @Jim

I don’t reproduce your issue for the moment.
I need more time to understand whats happened.

I have the exact same issue.
