TypeError at yt_paginator.py about spirit HOT 6 CLOSED

I've seen it before, It happens when the apps.ready() is not called. I remember restarting the server refreshing the browser and the error was gone... I was not able to reproduce it again.

Can you reproduce it? what python and django versions are you running?

from spirit.

I am running Django 1.7.7 and python 3.4 (in a virtualenv).

I am trying to reproduce it but il looks like it doesn't happen when using the development server. I was using nginx+gunicorn when the TypeError showed up.

EDIT: My bad, I was using the pip version on my local server. Will retry with the git version.

If you are able to reproduce it, let me know.

I'm almost sure what the problem is... it's a race condition in the djconfig library. It can only happen in the first request (second actually) after you start the server, while the first request is populating the config cache, the second request will try to use it and it'll return None (when accessing the config.topics_per_page in this case).

I was able to reproduce it:

Create a fresh virtualenv (python 3), git clone the latest master branch of spirit, install all the requirements via pip install -r, follow the installation instructions described in the README.md

manage.py migrate
manage.py createcachetable spirit_cache
manage.py collectstatic

launch a gunicorn server

gunicorn project.wsgi

Using an administrator account, navigate through the admin panel and create some categories. The TypeError sometimes happen when returning to the forum index. Restarting gunicorn is indeed a temporary solution.

(Sorry if that is not clear enough, this is my first real bug report)

It has to be that race condition... I can't seem to reproduce this 😅

Can you run pip install django-djconfig --upgrade and let me know if it keeps happening?
You may have to run python manage.py migrate djconfig --fake-initial afterwards or just remove your database and migrate everything again.

If this happens again it should throw an AttributeError this time.

I found what's causing this: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/settings/#timeout

The cache keys will expire after five minutes! 😂

Thank you! I will release a fix ASAP.
