Django Access the Request or User Object Inside the Models and Signals

middleware.py

# 1) Create a middlewares/middlewares.py file and copy this:

import threading

class RequestMiddleware:

  def __init__(self, get_response, thread_local=threading.local()):
    self.get_response = get_response
    self.thread_local = thread_local
    # One-time configuration and initialization.

  def __call__(self, request):
    # Code to be executed for each request before
    # the view (and later middleware) are called.
    self.thread_local.current_request = request

    response = self.get_response(request)

    # Code to be executed for each request/response after
    # the view is called.

    return response


#Include Middleware in your settings.py file
MIDDLEWARE = [
  'middlewares.middlewares.RequestMiddleware',
]


# models.py or signals.py file
from middlewares.middlewares import RequestMiddleware

# First we need create an instance of that and later get the current_request assigned
request = RequestMiddleware(get_response=None)
request = request.thread_local.current_request

Awesome! works great, thank you.

Probably doesn't help you anymore, but in case someone else comes across this problem:
For me the problem was that I was still using MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES[] instead of MIDDLEWARE[]
So renaming that solved my problem without breaking my project

Hi i'm having the same error. How did we solve it ? I am using MIDDLEWARE¨tupple as suggested by @kalteVollmilch but i's not working

Same trouble
AttributeError: '_thread._local' object has no attribute 'current_request'
Where exaclty in a middlware i need to insert it? Is it possition dependent?

Same problem any solution?
