I am trying to migrate, and view the admin page. both makemigrations and migrate passed, yet when i go to the admin url it reads this: "django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such column: social_app_user.id"
And once i create an id field, it changes to "django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such column: social_app_user.password"
I was under the impression that the AbstractUser model included all the default user fields, not sure about the primary key, but regardless.
Please help, thanks!
Note: the 'id' field in this models.py file was added after i got the error.
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser, UserManager
from django.db import models
class User(AbstractUser):
is_verified = models.BooleanField(default=True)
id= models.AutoField(primary_key=True, null=False)
REQUIRED_FIELDS = []
objects = UserManager()
def __str__(self):
f"{self.username} {self.email}"
return
class main_feed(models.Model):
content= models.CharField(unique=True, max_length=255, default='', null=False)
poster = models.ForeignKey('User', related_name='author', on_delete=models.CASCADE, to_field='username')
likes = models.IntegerField(default=0, null=False)
favorites = models.IntegerField(default=0, null=False)
date_posted = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
def __str__(self):
f"{self.content} {self.likes} {self.poster} {self.date_posted}"
return
It turns out I had to restart my entire application and run startapp again. This time i added the user model and set up the settings and admin file BEFORE the very first migration. then everything works dandy. But I have no idea why this is the case, shouldnt the migration update and override the default user model? anyways the question is answered now.
