Django Error : userprofile matching query does not exist

Question

I am newbie to Django. I am trying to create UserProfile. First I created one model and its handler in models.py as follows..

class UserProfile(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User,null=False)

    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name

def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    if created:
        UserProfile.objects.create(user=instance)

post_save.connect(create_user_profile, sender=User)

Then edited settings.py with

AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = "lib.UserProfile"

where lib is root folder which contains init.py ,models.py and all.

Then I deleted all the current user in the collection , and when i reentered them from admin panel , a new collection lib_userprofile is automatically created with fields i mentioned in model. Now I crearted a view as follows

  class CurrentUser(APIView):
        authentication_classes = (authentication.TokenAuthentication,)
        def get(self,request):
            if request.user.is_authenticated():
                        profile=request.user.get_profile()
                        return Response(profile)

But is giving me following error..

UserProfile matching query does not exist.

Any help would be appreciated please.. I found out many questions on this error , but i was not able to resolve error..

UserProfile should have OneToOne relation with User. Also, is the profile actually created? Your create in signal handler will fail as no name is provided. Probably, you are not showing the actual code. — Rohan

Ok, I changed it to OneToOneField. When I add new user from admin panel It's useprofile is automatically created with these fields "_id": ObjectId("528da840ee4340252254e34b"), "name": "", "user_id": "528da840ee4340252254e34a" And I am showing exact code.. What code you are not finding actual one.. — Pawan

I'm suspecting because, profile create should fail and do not allow when name is null or blank. — Rohan

I have resolved the error. I am answering my own question as it might help someone facing same problem.

I encountered error in get_profile function , So I checked the code of models.py file located at /contrib/auth/models.py at 383 line in get_profile() function by replacing user__id__exact=self.id with user = self.id And it worked Fine.
