All calls to django-notifications-hq api rest, return empty notify list after JWT authentication

[mauroesposito]

It's a very strange situation: I'm using django-notifications-hq in my app, and if I call the notifications list from model user, I can see all user notifications:

But when I made a call by Api rest, well, I can see that the result is ever empty:

Debugging your def live_all_notification_list(request): I've noted that request.user is always an anonymous user.

Again: I've tryed to override your live_all_notification_list in mine main.view() (with a new url: path("v1/notifications/unread_list/", main_views.live_all_notification_list), to avoid potential urls conflicts) and I've discovered that the problem is the decorator @never_cache, indeed, updating this decorator with a more generic @api_view(["GET"]), all work like a charm:

And last but not least, I've updated in your library view the decorator as @api_view(["GET"]) instead of @never_cache, and this is the result:

All work fine, and the result is the same as view method override.

This may be a bug or exist a workaround to bypass this empasse?

Thank you guys for your work and for your help,
Mauro

you didn't include those changes in a pull request, to fix that issue when using drf & jwt ?

With drf & token (knox token) authentication the initial behaviour happens too (have not tested the workaround)

I believe this is not a bug on this lib, because the never_cache and the django-notifications don't change the request, If the user is arriving as Anonymous some code before this is making this change, probably some middleware.
