Description (last modified by Baptiste Mispelon)

I am trying to upgrade from Django 1.5.5 to Django 1.6. Everything tests fine, but when I try to run my django project, I get the following error:

    ValueError: Unable to configure handler 'mail_admins': Cannot resolve 'vbenergyzone.core.utils.log.StaffSuperuserEmailHandler': cannot import name BaseHandler

Also: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20167580/django-1-6-upgrade-cannot-import-name-basehandler.

Here is what I have tried:

  • I have removed my custom logging handler code completely. The project runs fine without any errors.
  • I have replaced my custom logging handler code and replaced it with the default handler code. I get the same error.
  • I have tried Django 1.6c1 and get the same error.

Thanks!

Here is my stacktrace:

Hi,

I think you might have broken imports in your code, but the traceback is not helpful in finding out where.

Does import vbenergyzone.core.utils.log.StaffSuperuserEmailHandler work in a plain shell?

comment:2 by Erik Evenson, 10 years ago

Yes, from vbenergyzone.core.utils.log import StaffSuperuserEmailHandler works in the Django shell for both 1.5.5 and 1.6.

comment:3 by Claude Paroz, 10 years ago

I think this might be a circular import issue, similar to #21486. Could you please test if applying the following patch fixes your issue?

comment:4 by Erik Evenson, 10 years ago

Ok, first of all, thanks for helping in such a timely fashion.

I added the commit you linked to my requirements. Unfortunately, the commit breaks a different requirement that I currently have: https://bitbucket.org/smileychris/django-countries/. This is a minor requirement, but would take some time for me to back out. It looks like it is failing on an import as well (from django.utils.encoding import force_unicode, StrAndUnicode).

The stacktrace I get when I try to use the commit you specified is:

I see now that StrAndUnicode was deprecated. So perhaps what is happening is that your patch fixes the original problem and I am now seeing the next thing I need to fix -- but I can't be sure until I fix this deprecation issue.

What if you just apply that one commit on top of the 1.6 release?

To do so, install Django 1.6 as normal then go edit the file /home/vagrant/.virtualenvs/VBEZ/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/dispatch/dispatcher.py to change line 88.

Instead of having if settings.DEBUG:, write if settings.configured and settings.DEBUG:.

Does that fix anything?

Oh yes, sorry, the commit I gave you was on the master branch. I should have referenced https://github.com/django/django/commit/432de546113942be60089a879371073ad09fb4fe. But as Baptiste told you, you can also just change one line in dispatcher.py in a Django 1.6 installation.

comment:8 by Erik Evenson, 10 years ago

I changed the one line as Baptiste suggested, and my project runs fine.

Resolution: duplicate
Status: newclosed

Thanks for checking, the Django 1.6.1 release will include the fix.

comment:10 by Erik Evenson, 10 years ago

Excellent. I will use the commit you suggested in the meantime as it seems to work fine. Will move to 1.6.1 when it is available.

Thanks again for your help and the great tool!
