CI build failing but local builds pass

[Ajat Prabha]

Hi,
I'm working on a hobby project and the issue I'm facing is that the CI build is failing and I'm not sure why is this happening.

The only difference is that I updated Django to v2.1 after the last successful build. However, when I try to make migrations and migrate on my local machine, it runs smoothly.

Here's the log:

python3 manage.py migrate

The command "python3 manage.py migrate" exited with 1.

Can someone shed some light here?
Thanks!

The issue is fixed now, it happened because Travis used PostgreSQL v9.2 by default and Django v2.1 works with v9.4+ (changelog)

Thanks so much. I got this problem also.
