'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'session' - error trying to integrate askbot with our own django app

edit

(is it rude to answer my own question, when Evgeny actually answered it? still hopefully this will help for clarity):

• you need to make sure your middlewares are loaded in the right order in settings.py

so, MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES should have been:

('django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
'askbot.middleware.anon_user.ConnectToSessionMessagesMiddleware',
'askbot.middleware.pagesize.QuestionsPageSizeMiddleware',
'askbot.middleware.cancel.CancelActionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.transaction.TransactionMiddleware',
'askbot.middleware.view_log.ViewLogMiddleware',
'askbot.middleware.spaceless.SpacelessMiddleware')

Hi, there is no special session middleware. I am guessing the key is to merge the settings.py correctly for your app and askbot. It is possible that in your case some middlewares are missing or run in incorrect order.

Probably for the debugging purposes you might want to symlink django into current directory and walk with the debugger through the middleware loading stage.

We will improve the auto-tests which run on starting up askbot - that will help with making sure that all necessary pieces are added to the setup.py.
