coreapi must be installed to use 'get_schema_fields()'

So I installed django-rest-swagger as shown in django rest documentation.

And on 

from django.conf.urls import url
from rest_framework_swagger.views import get_swagger_view

schema_view = get_swagger_view(title='Pastebin API')

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', schema_view)
]

I keep on getting following error,

File ".../local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django_filters/rest_framework/backends.py", line 97, in get_schema_fields assert compat.coreapi is not None, 'coreapi must be installed to use get_schema_fields()' AssertionError: coreapi must be installed to use get_schema_fields()

I have the following packages installed:

  • coreapi==2.0.8
  • Django==1.9.6
  • django-filter==0.15.3
  • django-rest-swagger==2.0.7
  • djangorestframework==3.5.0

EDIT:

Installed Apps :

  • 'rest_framework',
  • 'rest_framework_swagger', ...
Solution

  • I think it's a bug. It will probably be fixed in rest framework 3.5.1
