Unable to configure social accounts without specifying SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS in settings.py

[sampiecz]

Hello 👋

I have django-allauth setup and working with social accounts using the SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS dict in settings.py.

• However, I'd prefer to configure api keys/secrets via the django admin and store them in the database records.

From reading the docs, and guides online this seems to be supported functionality.

• If the api keys/secrets are configured only in the database, logging get_providers produces an empty list [].
• If the api keys/secrets are configured in the database, AND in settings.py -- get_providers returns what it should, and Google OAuth works as expected.

It sounds like I'll just have to specify values in settings.py, and that will be my workaround for now, but docs/guides seem to say it's possible to use only the database values 🤔

FWIW I'm using django-cookiecutter so the configuration as is should be solid.

If the api keys/secrets are configured only in the database, logging get_providers produces an empty list [].

That is not the case. Depending on whether or not the sites framework is used, it will return all providers active for the current site.

If the api keys/secrets are configured in the database, AND in settings.py -- get_providers returns what it should, and Google OAuth works as expected.

That should also not be the case. You either configure an app in the settings, or in the database, but not both. Possible, the above holds in your case as the provider list is empty.

Can you check if you're using the sites framework?
