TypeError at /login/
UUID('314cb5d6-593f-48f5-b1af-fadedde123d3') is not JSON serializable

Thanks for the example project. Could you also provide the full traceback please.

I guess we should use user.serializable_value(user._meta.pk.attname) ​here.

Has patch: set

Create a ​PR but I'm not sure get_prep_value is the correct solution here.

Maybe we should document that your session serializer should be able to deal with your user primary key type?

I guess we could also rely on the check framework to make sure it's the case.

Resolution: → fixed

In 0f7f5bc9e7a94ab91c2b3db29ef7cf000eff593f:

Fixed #24161 -- Stored the user primary key as a serialized value in the session.

This allows using a UUIDField primary key along with the JSON session
serializer.

Thanks to Trac alias jamesbeith for the report and Simon Charette
for the initial patch.
