IndexError, list index out of range. Django-allauth signals

Question

I\'m using signals to update gender, when social user change their gender on facebook.com. Signals work fine. I can sign up and login and gender is updating for fb users.

Answer 1

You are correct, that is the problematic line. You probably want something more like:

from django.db.models import ObjectDoesNotExist

@receiver(user_signed_up)
@receiver(user_logged_in)
def set_gender(sender, **kwargs):
    user = kwargs.pop('user')
    try:
        extra_data = user.socialaccount_set.get(provider="facebook").extra_data
    except ObjectDoesNotExist:
        pass
    else:
        gender = extra_data['gender']

        if gender == 'male':
            user.gender = 'M'
        elif gender == 'female':
            user.gender = 'F'
        user.save()
