…fUnauthenticatedMiddleware IDAs which enable this middleware should still be able to use DRF permission composition. This PR reinforces the stated promise that this middleware is a no-op for any ViewSet that does not actually use LoginRedirectIfUnauthenticated.

Pull Request Overview
This PR enhances DRF permission composition support within JWT-related middleware, ensuring composite permissions are correctly handled and the JWT authentication middleware no-ops when login-redirection isn’t used.
- Extracted
_iter_included_base_classesto the module level for reuse - Updated both
EnsureJWTAuthSettingsMiddlewareand login-redirect middleware to leverage composed-permission detection - Bumped version to
10.6.1and added a corresponding changelog entry

- Consider adding unit tests for
_iter_included_base_classes, covering both simple and nested composed permissions to verify it yields all expected base classes.

- [nitpick] The changelog mentions
JwtRedirectToLoginIfUnauthenticatedMiddlewarebut the code changes affectEnsureJWTAuthSettingsMiddlewareand the login-redirect middleware. Update the entry to accurately reflect both class names or the actual class being modified.

Can we get a unit test that requires your fix to pass?

| view_permission_classes = getattr(view_class, 'permission_classes', tuple()) | ||
| is_login_required_found = _includes_base_class(view_permission_classes, LoginRedirectIfUnauthenticated) | ||
| view_permissions = getattr(view_class, 'permission_classes', tuple()) |

It looks like an older version of this code used to iterate over the permission_classes using list.pop():
The recursive helper function _iter_included_base_classes appears to support any iterable, so it shouldn't matter whether a list or tuple is passed. That said, I'm happy to make it consistently a list.

@pwnage101: Would it make sense to create an issue in this repo describing the bug and pointing to this PR as a potential fix? Would you mind taking care of that? It could even get a "good first issue" label, since you handled much of it already. |
