Bug: ERROR Exception inside application: __provides__

[deirdreamuel]

Describe the bug
There is an issue with drf_spectacular's @extend_schema_view that is only happening in production server i.e. Daphne, Gunicorn, Uvicorn. This issue does not happen with python manage.py runserver. The server does start up with daphne after removing all @extend_schema_view decorators.

Sample logs using Daphne:

To Reproduce
I have something sort of the following for different views under /views dir.

@extend_schema_view(
    list=extend_schema(
        tags=["Task Action"],
        operation_id="Task Action List",
        description="Retrieves a list of all task actions that can be applied.",
    ),
    retrieve=extend_schema(
        tags=["Task Action"],
        operation_id="Task Action Retrieve",
        description="Retrieves a task action data by Public ID.",
    ),
)

Expected behavior
The application should work and start without problems the same way it starts with python manage.py runserver

Interesting! So it looks like getattr(view, item) fails even though it should by definition succeed. dir(view) gets all the attribute names right there and thus they should alle be getattr-able, unless you have a custom __dir__ implementation on the the view.

However, since uvicorn et al do not even remotely go there, I cannot really understand why your dev/prod behaves differently, unless there is other things going on, you are not realizing.

A quick google search on __provides__ only gave some results on zope. Are you using that? Apart from that, this does not seem to be a common dunder method.

	item for item in dir(view) if callable(getattr(view, item)) and (
	item in view.http_method_names
	or item in schema.method_mapping.values()
	or item == 'list'
	or hasattr(getattr(view, item), 'mapping')
	)
	]

@tfranzel please look into https:/twisted/twisted codebase. We are having the same issue and can be backtracked there: scrapy/scrapy#6307 (comment)

Related issues:

• fix: some descriptors raise AttributeError ipython/traitlets#812
• Scrapy and Great Expectations: Error - __provides__ scrapy/scrapy#6307
• [BUGFIX] scrapy compatibility - handle dir() inconsistencies great-expectations/great_expectations#9830

I assume we should apply the same fix, do not rely that all methods/attributes returned by dir are available always, mentioned here: https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/functions.html#dir
