Cannot access member "id" for type "AbstractBaseUser" using pyright

[powelleric]

I have a custom user model that inherits from AbstractBaseUser, but when I do something like request.user.id, pyright thinks that user is of type AbstractBaseUser (instead of my class MyUser) and it can't find the id property (or any other properties).

My custom User class is specified in my Django settings: AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'userauth.MyUser'.

I notice Mypy is aware of Django settings. Is pyright not equipped to do that or am I doing something else wrong?

Look it here:

Make sure that you have both sets of stubs installed into your Dev group:

• django-stubs[compatible-mypy]
• djangorestframework-stubs[compatible-mypy]

In my case using pk instead of id addressed the issue. There is discussion of performance tradeoffs here.
