ModuleNotFoundError: 'ms-identity-web' Active Directory Django App

Question

I successfully installed "ms-identity-web" using a Bash-File with the command: pip install git+https://github.com/azure-samples/ms-identity-python-utilities@main as described in this Tutorial: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/msid-django-web-app-sign-in/3-exercise-register-django-web-app The Bash-File is executed during building with GitHub-Actions in the workflowfile.yml:

- name: Create and start virtual environment
        run: |
          python -m venv venv
          source venv/bin/activate

 - name: install MSIdentity
        run : |
          chmod +x MSIdent.sh
          ./MSIdent.sh

 - name: Install dependencies
        run: pip install -r requirements.txt

During Building I get the following notifiation:

Hi @coder1608 ,

Thanks for reaching out.

I understand you are trying to execute Django application but getting module not found error.

I reproduced the scenario in my lab based on tutorial link you shared and got the same error 'ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ms_identity_web'

It is because the module 'ms__identity__web' is not installed where the application resides and installing the modules in the temporary location.

To resolve the issue:

Navigate to the project folder to install the project dependencies(requirement.txt)

(djangoenv) PS C:\Shweta\Azure Samples\ms-identity-python-django-tutorial\1-Authentication\sign-in> pip install -r requirements.txt

djangoenv is my virtual environment to run Django application and it will install all the dependencies at above mentioned path where application is running.

Reference Sample : https://github.com/Azure-Samples/ms-identity-python-django-tutorial/tree/main/1-Authentication/sign-in Hope this will help.

Thanks,

Shweta
