django-allauth AUTHENTICATED_LOGIN_REDIRECTS is not working

Question

the redirect from /login/ when user is authenticated is handled in this method:

class RedirectAuthenticatedUserMixin(object):
    def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        if request.user.is_authenticated and app_settings.AUTHENTICATED_LOGIN_REDIRECTS:
            redirect_to = self.get_authenticated_redirect_url()
            response = HttpResponseRedirect(redirect_to)
            return _ajax_response(request, response)
        else:
            response = super(RedirectAuthenticatedUserMixin, self).dispatch(
                request, *args, **kwargs
            )
        return response

    def get_authenticated_redirect_url(self):
        redirect_field_name = self.redirect_field_name
        return get_login_redirect_url(
            self.request,
            url=self.get_success_url(),
            redirect_field_name=redirect_field_name,
        )

the AUTHENTICATED_LOGIN_REDIRECTS is set by default to True according to documentation using breakpoints to debug, I have found out that request.user.is_authenticated and app_settings.AUTHENTICATED_LOGIN_REDIRECTS is always returning false, changing the condition to request.user.is_authenticated and settings.AUTHENTICATED_LOGIN_REDIRECTS the condition was corrected and it returns True and the user was redirected from /login/ URL to the one set in settings: LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = "/"

my question why the app_settings was not able to fetch the variables in settings? and How do I fix this problem?

Answer 1

It is clear that the Django settings variable is ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATED_LOGIN_REDIRECTS, not AUTHENTICATED_LOGIN_REDIRECTS (Ref the doc)

So, you should set the value for ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATED_LOGIN_REDIRECTS in your settings.py
