I added a ManyToMany field between my facebook user and car Reviews to ./facebook/model.py which required me to insert:
from car.models import Review
I try to run:
./manage.py schemamigration facebook --auto
but i get error:
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: ImportError haystack: cannot import name Review
The problem is, my facebook app has nothing to do with the third party haystack module. I tried some simple debugging and found as long as i try to import Review, i get the error. It doesn't matter if I change the model or not. Could it be the order of my "INSTALLED_APPS"? I have "car" followed by "facebook" and then "haystack".
So, a bit of background on how imports work: When you run a statement like "from x.y import z
", the entire module x.y
is executed, and then the interpreter pulls z
and places it in your namespace.
So, your underlying problem probably has nothing to do with South or Haystack; it's probably in car.models
somewhere. That's why you're getting an error no matter how you come across the importing of Review
, and you'll likely get it if you try to import anything else from that module.
Check car.models
for problems -- in particular, you might have a circular import (in other words, a case where A imports from B and B imports from A).
