Apps aren't loaded yet

[jredd]

I'm running django 1.10.2, django-filter 0.15.3, and djangorestframework 3.5.0 on python 2.7.11. When I add django-filter to my installed apps I now get this when i try and start the server.

Do you can provide contents of INSTALLED_APPS?

[jredd]

I sure ca. @ad-m

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',

    'rest_framework',
    'django_filters',
    'corsheaders',
    'guardian',

    'model_monitoring',
    'deck_builder',
]

btw - it's not actually necessary to add django-filter to INSTALLED_APPS.

There are no templates, static files, models, autodiscoverable modules, etc...

Edit: This was true at the time. This is no longer true.

The interaction only occurs with DRF+django-filter+django-guardian, which is why it doesn't show up in the test suite (no compatibility w/ django-guardian since it's not really relevant).

The relevant portion of the trace is this:

  File "lib/python2.7/site-packages/django_filters/compat.py", line 19, in <module>
    from rest_framework.compat import coreapi
  File "lib/python2.7/site-packages/rest_framework/compat.py", line 210, in <module>
    import guardian.shortcuts  # Fixes #1624
  File "lib/python2.7/site-packages/guardian/shortcuts.py", line 6, in <module>
    from django.contrib.auth.models import Group, Permission

I've submitted #526, which should fix the issue, but I'm not sure if this is also something that should be fixed in DRF or django-guardian.

@rpkilby thanks so much. I had no idea that I didn't need to add it since the examples showed it like that. I have everything working fine now
