Issues

Attention

South has been replaced with Django Migrations. For more information, https://www.pkimber.net/open/dev-django-migrations.html

Dependency

If you need a migration from another app to run first:

class Migration(SchemaMigration):

    depends_on = (
        ("pay", "0001_initial"),
    )

    def forwards(self, orm):

Ghost

Warning

Be very careful before using the solution below on a production database. Something has probably gone wrong!

If you are using a development database and you have been deleting and re-creating migrations, you might get the following error:

! These migrations are in the database but not on disk:
<pay: 0003_auto__add_field_product_bundle>
! I'm not trusting myself; either fix this yourself by fiddling
! with the south_migrationhistory table, or pass --delete-ghost-migrations
! to South to have it delete ALL of these records (this may not be good).

The following message solved the problem:

django-admin.py migrate --delete-ghost-migrations

Warning

Read the warning above before running this command!

South - Settings…

If your tables are not all getting created when using the Django test runner, then you can put the following in settings.py. South’s test runner integration will create the test database using syncdb rather than with migrations:

SOUTH_TESTS_MIGRATE=False
