Lazy relation not resolved when get_defaults get called

[Ghislain Leveque]

I'm in a situation where the get_defaults method on the RelatedField class is called but self.rel.to as not been resolved yet and is still a string. I'm using Django 1.6.6 and I cannot upgrade easily (big number of systems in production).

Some important stuff :

- the problem appears when I create a new object inside a py.test fixture

- if I create the same object inside the shell_plus I have no problem

Here is an extract of my model (foreigns A and B are mandatory, C is not) :

class MyModel(models.Model):

    fielda = models.ForeignKey(
        'otherapp.modela', db_column='fielda')
    fieldb = models.ForeignKey(
        'otherapp.modelb', db_column='fieldb')
    fieldc = models.ForeignKey(
        'otherapp.modelc', db_column='fieldc',
        null=True, blank=True)

and here is how I use it :

# A is an instance of otherapp.modela
# B is an instance of otherapp.modelb
my_object = MyModel(fielda=A, fieldb=B)

Is there anything more I can provide to help ?

Thank you

I use this to fix that problem. Run it before you use your first model.

from django import models
models.get_models()
