setup.py add-user fails with AttributeError: 'PgAdmin' object has no attribute 'login_manager'

[ashirmustafa]

Environment:

• pgAdmin 4: Latest version bundled with PostgreSQL 18
• PostgreSQL: 18
• OS: Windows 11

Issue:
When attempting to create a user using the CLI command:

setup.py add-user

the command fails with the following exception:

AttributeError: 'PgAdmin' object has no attribute 'login_manager'

Traceback excerpt:

ManageUsers.create_user()
-> ManageRoles.get_role()
-> create_app()
-> delete_adhoc_servers()
-> current_user
-> current_app.login_manager._load_user()

AttributeError: 'PgAdmin' object has no attribute 'login_manager'

Expected behavior:

• The add-user command should create a new pgAdmin user successfully.

Actual behavior:

• The command crashes before the user is created.

Notes:

• This occurs on a fresh installation using the latest pgAdmin version.
• The issue appears to happen during application initialization when delete_adhoc_servers() accesses current_user before login_manager has been initialized.
• pgAdmin itself is installed correctly; the failure occurs specifically in the CLI user-management path.
