Fresh mysql database getting "mydb.background_task doesn't exist" - Django

I have a fresh install of a django app that uses background_tasks. If I remove the models that use background_task then I am able to do 

python manage.py makemigrations

However, if I keep them, I get a table missing exception: 

"mydb.background_task doesn't exist"

I have seen other people with this issue but I have tried every single suggestion: - delete all migrations files - delete sqlite3 dump file - uninstall django and django-background-tasks - make sure my machine does not have those two packages installed even outside of the virtualenv - I tried deleting my virtualenv and reinstalling everything.

I have tried all of these things and python manage.py makemigrations is still giving me that exception. But nothing else does that.

Django==2.1.5
django-background-tasks==1.2.0
django-compat==1.0.15
django-mysql==3.2.0

p.s: I am using Cloud SQL, I don't know if that affects anything, I don't think so. same issue with mysql

EDIT: adding the trace

django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: (1146, "Table 'zynqdb_dev.background_task' doesn't exist")

Also I have already tried:

find . -path "*/migrations/*.pyc"  -delete
find . -path "*/migrations/*.py" -not -name "__init__.py" -delete

I have tried reinstalling and uninstalling.

Also, the same error occurs if I do python manage.py showmigrations.

Here's the part of the model where if I comment out @background it works, but with @background it doesn't work.

def one_time_setup():
    if settings.SENTRY_TOKEN:
        sentry_sdk.init(
            settings.SENTRY_TOKEN,
            integrations=[DjangoIntegration()]
        )


#@background()
def one_time_setup_background():
    one_time_setup()


# Do one-time setup in django app, and background with high priority.
one_time_setup()
one_time_setup_background()
Solution

  • Looks like there is a issue in the library see https://github.com/arteria/django-background-tasks/issues/204. You may want to temporarily delete your code to migrate your database.
