Validation error for User

[escapenate]

Hi

I used the cookiecutter to create this project locally on macOS 10.14.6 and ran it without making any changes.

I ran into the following issue with the API (and consequently the frontend):

backend_1        | pydantic.error_wrappers.ValidationError: 1 validation error for User
backend_1        | response -> 0
backend_1        |   value is not a valid dict (type=type_error.dict)

This example was with /api/v1/users/me but it occurred with all APIs returning the User model.

I was able to successfully return the user in raised exceptions all the way through the backend processing, so it seems that the validation error is being raised from db_session_middleware .

Adding the orm_mode property to the UserBase model seemed to fix the issue. ie.

class UserBase(BaseModel):
    email: Optional[str] = None
    is_active: Optional[bool] = True
    is_superuser: Optional[bool] = False
    full_name: Optional[str] = None

    class Config:
        orm_mode = True

I'm not sure whether this is a bug, or something to do with my configuration or OS - but this was a completely vanilla build, so perhaps I'm not the only person to encounter this issue.

I had the same issue and it looks like there was a change in behavior with the latest pydantic and now it doesn't take the db models as is.

I ended up extending the BaseModel from pydantic like this:

 from pydantic import BaseModel, BaseConfig

class BasicModel(BaseModel):
    class Config(BaseConfig):
        orm_mode = True

And using BasicModel in all my pydantic models.

Thanks for the report and the discussion here, everyone!

This should be fixed in master now. 🎉

@escapenate may we close this issue now?
