Provider is not showing up in Django admin and getting ImproperlyConfigured error after setting up django-allauth

[mynewcodingjourney]

I'm encountering two issues after setting up Django Allauth for authentication in my Django project:

• The Google provider option is not showing up in the dropdown list when navigating to the "Add social application" section of the Django admin panel.
• When attempting to access the sign-in page (/enrolled/sign-in/), I'm getting an "ImproperlyConfigured" error with the message "unknown provider: google".

I'm using, Ubuntu - Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS (VS Code)

Here are the exact steps I followed to set up django-allauth in my project:

1. Creating virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv myvenv

2. Activating virtual environment:

   source myvenv/bin/activate

3. Installing django and django-allauth:

   pip install django
   pip install django-allauth

   requirements.txt:

   asgiref==3.8.1
   backports.zoneinfo==0.2.1
   Django==4.2.11
   django-allauth==0.62.1
   sqlparse==0.5.0
   typing-extensions==4.11.0

4. Creating django project:

   django-admin startproject googlelogin

5. This is my settings.py:

   
   """
   Django settings for googlelogin project.

I've followed this page of documentation to update my settings.py:
- [https://docs.allauth.org/en/latest/installation/quickstart.html](https://docs.allauth.org/en/latest/installation/quickstart.html)
- [For Github](https://docs.allauth.org/en/latest/socialaccount/providers/github.html)
- [For Google](https://docs.allauth.org/en/latest/socialaccount/providers/google.html)

I directly copy pasted github and google config to SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS temporarily...

6. This is my project-level **urls.py** file:

from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('accounts/', include('allauth.urls')), ]

7. Now, typing migrate command:

python manage.py migrate

8. Now, I'm creating a superuser account

python manage.py createsuperuser

9. Now at `http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/socialaccount/socialapp/add/`

As you can see in the provider dropdown, there are no items (such as Github or Google). However, according to this video [YouTube](https://youtu.be/RyB_wdEZhOw?si=2nDejWyihKjzjvjn) **(timestamp 7:29)**, there should be a mention of items there before specifying keys and after running migration command.

11. In this condition if i'm creating a html template, configuring it and runing server again with this html:

{% extends 'base.html' %} {% load static %} {% load socialaccount %}

{% block extra_head %}

{% endblock %}

{% block dynamic_content %}

{% endblock %}

For this, it sometimes gives `DoesNotExist at /` or `ImproperlyConfigured at /` errors, pointing out to `<a href="{% provider_login_url 'github' %}" class="login-button">`. If I remove this line, it then points out to `<a href="{% provider_login_url 'google' %}" class="login-button">`!

Thanks for reading!

Did you install using pip install django-allauth[socialaccount] ?

Did you install using pip install django-allauth[socialaccount] ?

No,

I've installed the entire package through pip install django-allauth, so it has downloaded all the social account providers, including Google and GitHub...

See this screenshot of my venv directory, which shows that django-allauth for Google exists:

Please read here: https://docs.allauth.org/en/latest/release-notes/recent.html#backwards-incompatible-changes

The [socialaccount] extra makes sure that the dependencies (requests, jwt) for Google are installed. The google provider is always there in your env, its dependencies are not. Can you give it a try?

Thank you for pointing that out!

I've installed the dependencies as per your suggestion, and everything seems to be working perfectly now. Appreciate the help!
