django 1.8 upgrade custom user model syncdb

[Jochen Wersdoerfer]

Hi *,

I’m trying to upgrade to django 1.8, but running into some app-dependency

issues:

http://pastebin.com/uvKtBtNa

There’s an initial migration for my custom user model in accounts.models,

so the accounts_pixolususer table should have been created. The syncdb

command breaks while adding a constraint to an app without migrations

(meters), which has a model with a foreign key pointing to my custom user

model.

For syncdb there’s an easy workaround - I just run ./manage.py migrate accounts

first. But since syncdb is also called by the testrunner, so I can’t run tests

anymore :/.

best regards,

Jochen

Ok, got it. Can't have a dependency from an unmigrated app to an

app with migrations. Most of my own and some third party apps were

unmigrated. Had circular dependencies, too. Difficult upgrade. You

can add an initial migration for an umigrated third party app installed

via pip by:

./manage.py makemigrations third_party_app

But now it works \o/ :).

Hey Jochen,

glad it works now. In that case you want to look at
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/settings/#migration-modules
and place the migrations somewhere in your project. Otherwise the
migrations end up in your virtualenv and are not available when you
deploy the application.

Best,

Yep, thx - didn't know I could place the migrations anywhere :).
