database tables are not being created

[jjander...@gmail.com]

I have been working on a django application for several months, learning as I go. I have run into a problem now and I'm not sure what I should be doing next.

Up until now my admin has worked, but I had a problem and a colleague told me he was pretty sure it was a pycharm bug. He suggested that I remove the database (db.sqlite3). I did that and I also removed all of the existing migration files in my development area.

When I run 'python manage.py makemigrations', I now get the followoing output:

/home/jja/.virtualenvs/PivotalBase-2017.6.16/bin/python /home/jja/prog/newSiggy/manage.py makemigrations
setting.py: BASE_DIR =  /home/jja/prog/newSiggy
FINISHED settings.py
No changes detected

Process finished with exit code 0

Then I run 'python manage.py migrate' and my output is:

/home/jja/.virtualenvs/PivotalBase-2017.6.16/bin/python /home/jja/prog/newSiggy/manage.py migrate
setting.py: BASE_DIR =  /home/jja/prog/newSiggy
FINISHED settings.py
Operations to perform:
  Apply all migrations: admin, auth, contenttypes, sessions, sites
Running migrations:
  No migrations to apply.

Process finished with exit code 0

I'm not sure what to do next. My models are in place, my 2 admin directories are in place. I have created an 'xxx_admin' file for each model and I have registered the admin classes. After running 'makemigrations' and 'migrate', a db.sqlite3 file exists, but only the django tables are to be found, not the tables for my models. I'm going through the documentation to try to figure out if I have missed a step in the process, but so far I have not found anything.

Any suggestions?

Have you added the application your models belong to to the INSTALLED_APPS part of settings.py? And have you added the models file in that application?

Andreas,

The apps are included in the INSTALL_APPS in settings.py

With regard to the models file, I'm not sure what you are referring to. In my application there is a driectory 'models' and in that directory, there is a separate file for each model and inside each of those files there is a class for the model that is indirectly derived from models.Model.

Ok,

Regarding point 2 there - have you added the models to the __init__.py file? Imported them as in:

from .model1 import Model1

As far as I have seen, this is needed to make sure the migrations can detect the models.

Andréas

As far as I know you also need to declare the app_label for each model

class Meta:

    app_label = 'your_app_name_here'

Andreas,

Thank you for the help. It turned out my __init__.py file was missing in my migration directories. Once added, everything ran great.
