Having trouble adding rule model mixin. -- TypeError: 'class Meta' got invalid attribute(s): rules_permissions

[cdrandin]

I have tried multiple variations for support listed at https://github.com/dfunckt/django-rules#permissions-in-models

I am not sure what I am missing.

This is my current model

class Post(UUID_PK, TimeStampedModel, RulesModelBaseMixin, PolymorphicModel):
    [...]

    class Meta:
        rules_permissions = {
            "add": rules.is_staff,
            "change": rules.is_authenticated,
        }

traceback:

I also tried checking django polymorphism to see if it was an issue there.

You need to specify the custom metaclass, see that part of the README again.

[cdrandin]

@dfunckt yes I have tried that. I guess I do not understand how to set it up exactly.

I have tried multiple variations of inheriting at the class model level and meta level.

Not sure about this but after reading the docs I suspect you might:

class Post(RulesModelMixin, PolymorphicModelBase, UUID_PK, TimeStampedModel):
    class Meta(RulesModelBase):

[Krystof Beuermann]

did anyone get this working? i stumbled over this problem too and can't get it working. Adding RulesModelBaseMixin to the Meta class did not solve it

[tadeo]

Did you try to adding RulesModelBase as 'metaclass' parameter as suggested in the documentation?
class MyModel(RulesModelMixin, YourBaseModel1, YourBaseModel2, Model, metaclass=RulesModelBase)
Another option I think could work is to inherit from PolymorphicModel instead of PolymorphicModelBase, and/or consider using 'polymorphic.utils.get_base_polymorphic_model(ChildModel, allow_abstract=False)' or 'polymorphic.compat.with_metaclass(meta, *bases)'.
Also, I've edited my previous comment to add another option I would try.
I hope I can bring something helpful to the table.

I solve it by:

class RulesPolyModelBase(RulesModelBaseMixin, PolymorphicModelBase):
    pass


class MyModel(RulesModelMixin, PolymorphicModel, metaclass=RulesPolyModelBase):
