Django is not sending email after rest-auth registration

Question

After I changed user model to using email instead of username, email is not sending when I access rest-auth.registration.views.RegisterView.

What should I do to make working?

My email setup is:

EMAIL_BACKEND = "django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend"

It's correct configuration, sending email on rest_auth.views.PasswordResetView works fine.

My code:

users/urls.py:

app_name = "users"
urlpatterns = [
    path("register/", include("rest_auth.registration.urls")),
    ...
]

config/urls.py:

from allauth.account.views import AccountInactiveView

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path("api/v1/users/", include("myproject.users.urls")),

    # this url is used to generate email content
    # https://github.com/Tivix/django-rest-auth/blob/master/demo/demo/urls.py
    path("password-reset/<uidb64>/<token>/", TemplateView.as_view(), name="password_reset_confirm")

    # for some reason required for rest-auth register view working
    path("account-inactive/", AccountInactiveView.as_view(), name="account_inactive"),
]

config/settings.py

ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD = "email"
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED = True
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION = "mandatory"
ACCOUNT_USER_MODEL_USERNAME_FIELD = None
ACCOUNT_USERNAME_REQUIRED = False

After accessing register view, there's no error. User object is created and response (code 201) is:

{
  "detail": "Verification e-mail sent."
}

However there's no email sent.

Thanks for help!

Answer 1

I solved this problem. The problem occurred because default value for is_active field in User model was False. And for some reason allauth and rest-auth do not allow to send activation email for inactive user.
