Inside of `RenameModel.state_forwards()` the ProjectState is not aware of
the unmanaged model included in another app and dies with the KeyError:

To reproduce the issue i've created a project containing two apps `legacy`
and `directed`; you can find the setup on github here:
https://github.com/dahrens/django_renamemodel_related_to_unmanaged_model
`legacy` does not use migrations at all and the models are unmanaged.
models.py might look like that:
{{{
from django.db import models
class LegacyModel(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
class Meta:
managed = False
db_table = 'legacy_model'
}}}
The corresponding SQL statement to create the table like that:
{{{
CREATE table legacy_model (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
name character varying(50) NOT NULL
);
}}}
The direct app uses migrations and `models.py` that finally looks like
that:
{{{
from django.db import models
class RenamedDirectedModel(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=10)
legacy = models.ForeignKey("legacy.LegacyModel",
on_delete=models.CASCADE)
}}}
Additionally there are two migrations.
0001_initial.py:
{{{
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# Generated by Django 1.9.9 on 2016-09-26 09:17
from __future__ import unicode_literals
from django.db import migrations, models
import django.db.models.deletion
class Migration(migrations.Migration):
initial = True
dependencies = [
('legacy', '__first__'),
]
operations = [
migrations.CreateModel(
name='DirectedModel',
fields=[
('id', models.AutoField(auto_created=True,
primary_key=True, serialize=False, verbose_name='ID')),
('name', models.CharField(max_length=10)),
('legacy',
models.ForeignKey(on_delete=django.db.models.deletion.CASCADE,
to='legacy.LegacyModel')),
],
),
]
}}}
and then 0002_auto_20160926_1023.py:
{{{
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# Generated by Django 1.10.1 on 2016-09-26 10:23
from __future__ import unicode_literals
from django.db import migrations
class Migration(migrations.Migration):
dependencies = [
('directed', '0001_initial'),
]
operations = [
migrations.RenameModel(
old_name='DirectedModel',
new_name='RenamedDirectedModel',
),
]
}}}
Using the sample you can reproduce the bug with django version >= 1.10 -
everything below works fine. While debugging i tracked down, that the
issue is related to this commit:
https://github.com/django/django/commit/f1e408ff40d2c1753f92515c70a44634b4d47467

Comment:
I think the problem is mixing apps with and without migrations. You should
have migrations for `legacy`, even if the models aren't managed. After I
added and applied migrations for `legacy` (with Django 1.9.x), I had no
trouble running migrations on 1.10.

Thank you for the reply. You are totally right - having migrations in the
legacy app solves the issue. It feels a little scary to have migrations
for a schema, where django should __not__ do anything with SQL, but on the
other hand it perfectly makes sense, that django needs information about
those migrations, if another app relies on this information within its
migrations.
