Django migration stuck


I have a new field to add to my db. So I say

python manage.py makemigrations

which correctly creates kernel/migrations/0003_auto_20150726_1911.py. I inspect the contents and all looks good.

I say

python manage.py migrate

and I am less happy. The file kernel/migrations/0002_auto_20150707_1459.py, which adds field date_of_birth to table userprofile, fails. Even though I'm pretty sure that migration is applied. And so migration 0003 is never applied.

This is production. :( I'm not at all sure what to do in order to apply 0003 and not hose django. Suggestions?

The rest of this is supporting docs:

The data

I checked with postgres, expecting to find something amiss. But all looks fine.

mydb=# select date_of_birth from kernel_userprofile;
 date_of_birth 
---------------
 2018-10-23
 1972-05-31
 1978-10-21
 2008-12-29

Solution

  • For the community, the issue was django_migrations table was not updated with 0002_auto_20150707_1459 even though the migration was actually applied on table as mentioned in the post.

    The solution was to insert a new row in django_migrations table with data like below so migration 0002 was skipped.

    INSERT INTO DJANGO_MGRATIONS ('app', 'name', 'applied') VALUES ('appname', '0002_auto_20150707_1459', '2015-07-07 00:00')
    

    Skipping migration must be done with extreme caution, hence check all details before skipping.
