RuntimeError: Unable to resolve relationship `user` for `wagtailcore.ModelLogEntry`. Django is most likely not initialized, and its apps registry not populated. Ensure Django has finished setup before loading `FilterSet`s

Hi!

I’ve updated to the LTS 4.1 but this error came out:

RuntimeError: Unable to resolve relationship `user` for `wagtailcore.ModelLogEntry`. Django is most likely not initialized, and its apps registry not populated. Ensure Django has finished setup before loading `FilterSet`s.

I have the following versions:

Wagtail 4.1 Django 4.0.8 django-filter 22.1]

My temporal “fix”

I was able to solve this by removing the user on the meta class of SnippetHistoryReportFilterSet :

    class Meta:
        model = ModelLogEntry
        fields = ["action", "**_user_**", "timestamp"]

This is located at wagtail/snippets/views/snippets.py

Is that a logger or something like that? If so, is there a way to disable it in order to use the page?

Thanks!

Reopening this, as we do want to find a proper fix for this that allows previously-working code to continue working on 4.1.

@ababic That sounds like a good plan, yep! We’re being a bit quirky with how we mix model and view code here, and while I think django-filter might be technically in the wrong for how early in the execution it’s doing model lookups, making it less quirky wouldn’t be a bad thing. 😃
