I have an error regarding flask_admin when i make my own model view by inheriting ModelView class from flask_admin.contrib.sqla in my own class name UserDeleteView in this when i use current_user( a variable of flask_login ) inside UserDeleteView it give None but when i use it in any function of UserDeleteView it works properly
like when i use it in is_accessable function of UserDeleteView class it works but when i use it in an if inside UserDeleteView class it Does not work
Here is my code for flask_admin :-
class UserDeleteView(ModelView):
def is_accessible(self):
return "User" in {i.split()[0] for i in current_user.permissions() }
if "User w" not in current_user.permissions():
can_delete=False
class PostVarificationView(BaseView):
@expose("/")
def index(self):
return self.render('admin/post_varification.html')
class MyAdminIndexView(AdminIndexView):
def is_accessible(self):
return (current_user.is_authenticated and len(current_user.permissions())!=0)
admin = Admin(app,index_view=MyAdminIndexView(),name="Microblog")
admin.add_view(UserDeleteView( User, db.session ))
admin.add_view(PostVarificationView(name="Post Varification",endpoint="PostVarification"))
Here is the error which i got:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'permissions'

Code defined in a class body is executed when the module is first imported, there is no current_user
hence the error. See this SO question "Why does a class' body get executed at definition time?" for further reading.
Replace can_delete
with a method and decorate with @property, current_user
is then available.
Example:
class UserDeleteView(ModelView):
def is_accessible(self):
return "User" in {i.split()[0] for i in current_user.permissions() }
@property
def can_delete(self):
# Your logic here
return "User w" in current_user.permissions()
