Override runserver django 1.7

[Carlos Perche]

Hello, why not is possible override the command runserver.py in my custom app in Django 1.7, like this

# encoding: utf-8

from django.conf import settings

from django.core.management.base import CommandError, BaseCommand

# from django.contrib.staticfiles.management.commands.runserver import Command as RunserverCommand

from django.core.management.commands.runserver import Command as RunserverCommand

class Command(RunserverCommand):

    

    def handle(self, addrport='', *args, **options):

        database = options.get('database', 'default')

        if (settings.DATABASES[database]['ENGINE'] == 'saas.backends.postgresql_psycopg2' or

                RunserverCommand is BaseCommand):

            raise CommandError("migrate has been disabled, for database '{}'. Use migrate_schemas "

                               "instead. Please read the documentation if you don't know why you "

                               "shouldn't call migrate directly!".format(database))

            

        super(Command, self).handle(self, addrport='', *args, **options)

    

    def check_migrations(self):

        """

        Checks to see if the set of migrations on disk matches the

        migrations in the database. Prints a warning if they don't match.

        """

        print('OK')

The output when i run manage.py, note that the runserver is not present in [saas] commands

Available subcommands:

[auth]

  ..

[debug_toolbar]

..

[django]

  ..

[reversion]

    ...

[saas]

    migrate

    migrate_saas

    migrate_schemas

    sync_schemas

    syncdb

    tenant_command

[sessions]

    ..

[staticfiles]

    collectstatic

    findstatic

    runserver

try putting the staticfiles app below saas in your INSTALLED_APPS

great, now it is working.

but i have still a question, why the position in the installed_apps does not affect the migrate command and affect the runserver command ?

thanks

It's because the staticfiles app is already overriding the built in runserver command, and it's competing with your app. I think it's the only case of a contrib app overriding a built-in command.

The migrate command is built-in to django and there are no contrib apps that override it.
