AttributeError: type object 'SessionAuthentication' has no attribute 'get_user'

I'm getting this error when websocket is disconnected:

 ERROR - worker - Error processing message with consumer django_nyt.consumers.ws_disconnect:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\channels\worker.py", line 119, in run

    message.user = auth.get_user(fake_request)
 AttributeError: type object 'SessionAuthentication' has no attribute 'get_user'

Any Help please

AttributeError: type object 'SessionAuthentication' has no attribute 'get_user'

That sounds very very odd, I can't figure it out for you. Basically, the current version of channels.auth has these contents, and if you look at them, then auth is the imported module django.auth, which should not give you this error.

Unless of course this is a Django 2.0 related problem, in which case I can't help you ATM - other than try to ensure that you have Django 1.11.
