Custom Register Form with Django Rest Auth - Error: save() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given - django

Question

I want to create a custom Signup form with Django Rest Auth and Django Allauth but I'm getting an error save() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given
I know that this error is related to the function def save(self, request) provided by Django Rest Auth, but I have no clue how I can change it.
What should I do to make it work?
Bellow is the respective code for my user Model and Serializer:
# Models.py
class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_user(self, email, password=None, **extra_fields):
"""Creates and saves a new user"""
if not email:
raise ValueError('Users must have an email address')
user = self.model(email=self.normalize_email(email), **extra_fields)
user.set_password(password)
user.save(using=self._db)
return user
def create_superuser(self, email, password, **extra_fields):
"""Creates and saves a new super user"""
user = self.create_user(email, password, **extra_fields)
user.is_staff = True
user.is_superuser = True
user.save(using=self._db)
return user
class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
"""Custom user model that supports using email instead of username"""
email = models.EmailField(max_length=255, unique=True)
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
age = models.PositiveIntegerField(null=True, blank=True)
is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
objects = UserManager()
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['name', 'age']
def __str__(self):
return self.email
# serializers.py
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
"""Serializer for the users object"""
class Meta:
model = get_user_model()
fields = ('email', 'password', 'name', 'age')
extra_kwargs = {'password': {'write_only': True, 'min_length': 5}}
def create(self, validated_data):
"""Create a new user with encrypted password and return it"""
return get_user_model().objects.create_user(**validated_data)
def update(self, instance, validated_data):
"""Update a user, setting the password correctly and return it"""
password = validated_data.pop('password', None)
user = super().update(instance, **validated_data)
if password:
user.set_password(password)
user.save()
return user
def save(self, request):
# I would say that I need to change the default function
# settings. py
REST_AUTH_REGISTER_SERIALIZERS = {
'REGISTER_SERIALIZER': 'user.serializers.UserSerializer'
}

In order to get this fixed I just add the following to my serializer:
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
"""Serializer for the users object"""
class Meta:
model = get_user_model()
fields = ('email', 'password', 'name', 'age')
extra_kwargs = {'password': {'write_only': True, 'min_length': 5}}
def create(self, validated_data):
"""Create a new user with encrypted password and return it"""
return get_user_model().objects.create_user(**validated_data)
def update(self, instance, validated_data):
"""Update a user, setting the password correctly and return it"""
password = validated_data.pop('password', None)
user = super().update(instance, **validated_data)
if password:
user.set_password(password)
user.save()
return user
def get_cleaned_data(self):
return {
'password': self.validated_data.get('password', ''),
'email': self.validated_data.get('email', ''),
'name': self.validated_data.get('name', ''),
'age': self.validated_data.get('age', ''),
}
def save(self, request):
self.cleaned_data = self.get_cleaned_data()
user = get_user_model().objects.create_user(**self.cleaned_data)
return user
