Hey!

When I try to migrate comments model I get an error:

{{{
raise ValueError('Related model %r cannot be resolved' % self.rel.to)
ValueError: Related model 'links.Link' cannot be resolved
}}}

It only happens for this model so when I remove Link fk everything passes
smoothly

Comment (by melinath):

I'm seeing this as well. Just tried to re-generate my migrations, and they
won't run. I got it with auth.User, whether I specify it as 'auth.User' or
by importing the model. It looks like the migration doesn't run
do_pending_lookups for models from external apps, for some reason.

This *particular* bug starts showing up in
https://github.com/django/django/commit/81f5408c7a16b8c79053950f05fe7a873506ca55
(git bisect) but I don't know whether that commit causes it or just
uncovers it.

Comment (by melinath):

81f5408 is the first commit where the migrations that are autogenerated
start exhibiting this behavior - but they have this behavior all the way
back to 1.7a1, at the very least, once they've been generated. (I get
different errors for my migrations that are generated *before* 81f5408, so
I can't tell whether the generation is also wrong before that.)

Comment (by melinath):

This seems to be resolved (in the case where I'm getting it now - a rel to
auth.Group) by adding a dependency to `auth.__first__` - not sure why that
wasn't automatically added. Also not sure why I was seeing this before,
since swappable_dependency *was* present and seems to just be a shortcut
to `app_label.__first__`

Comment (by prairiedogg):

This is also happening to me in a simple and reproducible case where I add
a foreign key on a model to ContentType, `makemigrations` generates the
migration just fine, but `migrate`raises the same `ValueError: Related
model 'contenttypes.ContentType' cannot be resolved` error.

@prairiedogg, any chance you could reproduce with a minimal project that
has a FK to `contenttypes`? I haven't managed to reproduce yet.

Complete n00b here, so I'm not sure if I'm following protocol, but this
fix does not work for me. How do I go about reporting it? I'm not even

@dbinetti, did you delete the existing migrations? This patch fixes the
generation of migrations, but if your migration is already generated, it's
not going to help.

Comment (by dbinetti@…):

so sorry for the late response! i assumed i'd be notified of followups.

as it turns out I changed my model schema, and have not experienced this
since. so perhaps it worked, perhaps some other solution, but in any case
no problems since.

thanks!

I've same problem with my

{{{

changing to

{{{
content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType, null=True, blank=True)
}}}

I've tried to apply patch – but the error remains:

{{{

Comment (by loic84):

@maxwell.team did you try to remove the faulty migration after applying
the patch, then running `makemigrations` and finally running `migrate`
again?

Also you may want to try the master version of django on github, since
this patch has been merged already.

Feel free to ping me on the #django-dev IRC channel (loic84).

It seems like there's another dependancy problem, occuring with auth.User.

@RLion the `auth.User` dependency problem is tracked in #22485.

Comment (by loic84):

@charettes, interestingly, it's not the same error, but rather
`ValueError: Lookup failed for model referenced by field
auth.Permission.content_type: contenttypes.ContentType`.

I find that generating migrations for `d.c.contenttypes` then `d.c.auth`
fixes the problem up to the point of #22485.

Comment (by debugger22):

I think this bug is still there in Django 1.9.3. Yesterday, I just added
`null=True, blank=True` to a `ForeignKey` field and executed `python
manage.py migrate` after `makemigrations` and it refused to migrate
stating the same error.

Comment (by rvernica):

I was able to move past this by adding the following to the `dependencies`
field in the `Migration`:
{{{
class Migration(migrations.Migration):

dependencies = [
('NAME_OF_RELATED_APP', 'LAST_MIGRATION_IN_THAT_APP'),
...
]
}}}
Now `sqlmigrate` works as expected.

After looking around it seems that this problem has been encountered
before and this solution worked in the past.
