-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
Platform: Observed on Ubuntu 20.04, RHEL8
1. Install MySQL (Either 5.7 and 8.0)
2. Create a Virtual environment using venv, and activate it.
3. Install Django 3.2.11
4. Install mysql-connector-python (Either 8.0.26 and 8.0.28)
5. Install django-easy-audit and/or django-axes (both these third party
packages populate the Django Admin Site, where the apparent bug
manifests).
6. Create a superuser (python manage.py createsuperuser)
7. Start Django (python manage.py runserver)
8. Launch the Django Admin Site and log in with the superuser.
9. The pane on the left hand side will have links to objects created by
django-easy-audit and/or django-axes, depending on what was installed.
10. Click on the "Request event" link under "Easy Audit Application" or
"Access logs" under "Axes"
RESULT:
Template error: In template /home/......../.venv/lib/python3.8/site-
packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/base.html, error at line 44
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'day' [OR 'NoneType' object has no
attribute 'month']
This behaviour is observed on MySQL 5.7.37 and 8.0.26 using mysql-
connector 8.0.26 and 8.0.28.
Replacing MySQL with SQLite or PostgreSQL 12 solves the issue.
Replacing mysql-connector with mysqlclient-2.1.0 solves the issue.
The problem does not manifest when using mysql-connector-python 8.0.26
with Django 3.1.14 and these third-party packages.
This implies there is a bug in the interaction between some third-party
packages that populate the Django Admin Site like django-easy-audit and
django-axes, Django 3.2.11 and mysql-connector 8.0.26 and 8.0.28.
settings.py and the full traceback are attached.
