django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: ('Setting RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY is not of type', <class 'str'>)

Good morning, I am trying to use a Google captcha in Otree, I installed recaptcha and create an account that gave me the keys, but when I run the powershell it shows me the following error:


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\users\user\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\lib\site-packages\otree_startup\__init__.py", line 202, in do_django_setup

    "Setting %s is not of type" % variable, instance_type
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: ('Setting RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY is not of type', <class 'str'>)

This is the code that I have in my settings, the enviroment.get code is to run the experiment on Heroku.

RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY = 'RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY'

RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY = 'RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY'

RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY = environ.get('RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY')

RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY = environ.get('RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY')

The key are numbers and I dont know how to make the captcha works, someone can give a idea??

I had this issue. All I had to do was just wrapping str():

RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY = str(environ.get('RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY'))
RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY = str(environ.get('RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY'))

I had the same problem with that module and what I had done was:

in settings.py wrap keys with str():

RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY = str('YOUR_RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY')
RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY = str('YOUR_RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY')

I checked it out by inserting debug prints directly into the site-packages\captcha\__init__.py like this:

SETTINGS_TYPES = {
    "RECAPTCHA_DOMAIN": str,
    "RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY": str,
    "RECAPTCHA_PROXY": dict,
    "RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY": str,
    "RECAPTCHA_VERIFY_REQUEST_TIMEOUT": int,
}

print(settings.RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY) # <--added
print(type(settings.RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY)) # <--added

# Validate settings types.
for variable, instance_type in SETTINGS_TYPES.items():
    if hasattr(settings, variable) \
            and not isinstance(getattr(settings, variable), instance_type):
        raise ImproperlyConfigured(
            "Setting %s is not of type" % variable, instance_type
        )

and then I typed python manage.py shell to see the output. And really, type of the RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY was unicode instead of str.
