I'm trying to create a minimal custom user model. The only thing I care about is email. But it seems Django really wants me to set a last_login field. Can I avoid it somehow?
Here's the minimal repro: https://github.com/hjwp/minimal-django-custom-user-model/commit/377a83a9c995b2346b79458dcb5d48c0caed90df The user looks like this: class User(models.Model): email = models.EmailField(primary_key=True) USERNAME_FIELD = 'email' REQUIRED_FIELDS = () But unfortunately, if I every put one through the django login function (from contrib.auth), he barfs: File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/dist-packages/django/contrib/auth/__init__.py", line 97, in login user_logged_in.send(sender=user.__class__, request=request, user=user) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/dist-packages/django/dispatch/dispatcher.py", line 170, in send response = receiver(signal=self, sender=sender, **named) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/dist-packages/django/contrib/auth/models.py", line 31, in update_last_login user.save(update_fields=['last_login']) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/dist-packages/django/db/models/base.py", line 526, in save % ', '.join(non_model_fields)) ValueError: The following fields do not exist in this model or are m2m fields: last_login If you checkout the repo, I've written a test that reproduces same. I don't care about last_login! Can this be circumvented? Should that signal be optional, or gracefully handle the case where the user model has no last_login field? Should I log this as a bug?
