TypeError when accessing simple view

[jaydabi]

Getting a Token works as expected, but as soon as I try to access this simple view

class TestAPIView(APIView):
    permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated,)

    def get(self, request):
        return Response('test')

I get a TypeError.

TypeError: decode() got an unexpected keyword argument 'verify'
[07/Oct/2021 12:39:52] "GET /api/test HTTP/1.1" 500 127928

When I uncomment line 94 of file rest_framework_simplejwt/backends.py it will return the view as expected.

The test request is build manually like this:

curl --location --request GET '127.0.0.1:8000/api/test' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer token.goes.here' \
--data-raw ''

Settings look like below.

SIMPLE_JWT = {
    'ACCESS_TOKEN_LIFETIME': timedelta(minutes=5),
    'REFRESH_TOKEN_LIFETIME': timedelta(days=1),
    'VERIFYING_KEY': open('test_pubkey').read(),
    'SIGNING_KEY': open('test_privatekey').read(),
    'ALGORITHM': 'RS256',
}

Any clues on what I am missing?

I am getting the same now on functions that have previously worked.
On my old virtual environment everything is fine but when I pip install the package fresh this error pops up.

Seems to be related to new PyJWT Version ( #467 (comment) ).

Confirmed.

return jwt.decode(token, self.verifying_key, algorithms=[self.algorithm], verify=verify,
TypeError: decode() got an unexpected keyword argument 'verify'

Quick fix is to set PyJWT==2.1.0 in your requirements.

Setting PyJWT==2.1.0 in requirements will workaround this.

Awesome, thanks @jaydabi
