django-tenant-schemas wont apply migration to tenant schema, only public

Question

I have a multi-tenant django app using django-tenant-schemas.

There is an SiteConfig app:

settings.py:

TENANT_APPS = (
   ...
   'siteconfig',
   ...
)

INSTALLED_APPS = (
   ...
   'siteconfig',
   ...
)

But my latest migration on that app won't apply to my tenants:

$ ./manage.py migrate_schemas --shared
[standard:public] === Running migrate for schema public
[standard:public] Operations to perform:
[standard:public]   Apply all migrations: account, admin, ... siteconfig, sites, socialaccount, tenant, utilities
[standard:public] Running migrations:
[standard:public]   Applying siteconfig.0007_siteconfig_access_code...
[standard:public]  OK

As you can see it is only applying the migration to the public schema, and not my tenants.

If I look at my tenant, it shows the migration there as unapplied:

$ ./manage.py tenant_command showmigrations

Enter Tenant Schema ('?' to list schemas): ?
public - localhost
test - test.localhost
Enter Tenant Schema ('?' to list schemas): test
account
 [X] 0001_initial
 [X] 0002_email_max_length
admin
 [X] 0001_initial
 [X] 0002_logentry_remove_auto_add+
 .
 .
 .
siteconfig
 [X] 0001_initial
 [X] 0002_auto_20200402_2201
 [X] 0003_auto_20200402_2218
 [X] 0004_auto_20200402_2233
 [X] 0005_auto_20200403_0947
 [X] 0006_auto_20200403_1528
 [ ] 0007_siteconfig_access_code  # <-- DIDN'T APPLY!

Why is it not applying to the tenant test and how can I get it to do that?

Answer 1

You are running

manage.py migrate_schemas --shared

Which migrates only public schema

You should run

 manage.py migrate_schemas

According to documentation
