I replaced the built-in auth user model with a custom model that requires email to sign in. What happens now though, is that I can't create a superuser.
Here are my models:
class CustomUserManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_user(self, email, first_name, last_name, password=None,
):
'''
Create a CustomUser with email, name, password and other extra fields
'''
now = timezone.now()
if not email:
raise ValueError('The email is required to create this user')
email = CustomUserManager.normalize_email(email)
cuser = self.model(email=email, first_name=first_name,
last_name=last_name, is_staff=False,
is_active=True, is_superuser=False,
date_joined=now, last_login=now,)
cuser.set_password(password)
cuser.save(using=self._db)
return cuser
def create_superuser(self, email, first_name, last_name, password=None,
):
u = self.create_user(email, first_name, last_name, password,
)
u.is_staff = True
u.is_active = True
u.is_superuser = True
u.save(using=self._db)
return u
class CustomUser(AbstractBaseUser):
'''
Class implementing a custom user model. Includes basic django admin
permissions and can be used as a skeleton for other models.
Email is the unique identifier. Email, password and name are required
'''
email = models.EmailField(_('email'), max_length=254, unique=True,
validators=[validators.validate_email])
username = models.CharField(_('username'), max_length=30, blank=True)
first_name = models.CharField(_('first name'), max_length=45)
last_name = models.CharField(_('last name'), max_length=45)
is_staff = models.BooleanField(_('staff status'), default=False,
help_text=_('Determines if user can access the admin site'))
is_active = models.BooleanField(_('active'), default=True)
date_joined = models.DateTimeField(_('date joined'), default=timezone.now)
objects = CustomUserManager()
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['first_name', 'last_name']
def get_full_name(self):
'''
Returns the user's full name. This is the first name + last name
'''
full_name = "%s %s" % (self.first_name, self.last_name)
return full_name.strip()
def get_short_name(self):
'''
Returns a short name for the user. This will just be the first name
'''
return self.first_name.strip()
I use this to create the superuser:
python manage.py createsuperuser [email protected]
and then I get my prompts(First name, Last name, Password) and this error:

Not sure, why.
Also, how can I make the system prompt to create a superuser, when creating a database (like the built in user does)?
Thanks in advance!!!
