Debugging django-allauth Social Network Login Failure

Question

When using django-allauth to do an OAuth login via a social provider, sometimes it fails with the error page \"Social Network Login Failure\". There is no log output contai

Answer 1

If you use a custom SocialAccountAdapter (can be set in your settings.py, read more here) then you can simply overwrite the function authentication_error to log all of the errors.

The function signature (source here) looks like this:

(main/wherever.py):

class SocialAccountAdapter(DefaultSocialAccountAdapter):
    def authentication_error(self, request, provider_id, error, exception, extra_context):
        your_log_function(
            'SocialAccount authentication error!',
            'error',
            request,
            extra_data = {'provider_id': provider_id, 'error': error.__str__(), 'exception': exception.__str__(), 'extra_context': extra_context},
        )

(and in settings.py)

SOCIALACCOUNT_ADAPTER = "main.wherever.SocialAccountAdapter"

I'm doing this in my app and it works great!
