I got the following error after adding a new model field and running the makemigrations command:
ImportError: cannot import name 'FieldDoesNotExist' from 'django.db.models' (/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/db/models/init.py)
this is what my models.py looks like:
import uuid
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
from django.db import models
from django.urls import reverse
# Create your models here.
class Book(models.Model):
id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False)
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
author = models.CharField(max_length=200)
price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=2)
cover = models.ImageField(upload_to='covers/', blank=True) # New Field
def __str__(self):
return self.title
def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse('book_detail', args=[str(self.id)])
class Review(models.Model):
book = models.ForeignKey(Book, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='reviews')
review = models.CharField(max_length=255)
author = models.ForeignKey(get_user_model(), on_delete=models.CASCADE)
def __str__(self):
return self.review
This is the current state of my migrations files, I have two. 0001_initial.py

This is the exception traceback after running makemigration command:

So, I do not know what exactly caused this error and am stuck at this stage. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Your version of django-allauth has the incorrect import for FieldDoesNotExist. The correct import is:
from django.core.exceptions import FieldDoesNotExist
The import from django.db.models presumably worked in older versions of Django.
The import was fixed in django-allauth in version 0.41.0. If you update django-allauth in your requirements.txt or pipenv it should fix the problem.
