I have two django apps: 'home' and 'user_profile'. I made changes to 'user_profile' app and I want to makemigrations for it, so I write
manage.py makemigrations user_profile
And I got this error:
File "D:\example\project\home\forms.py", line 31, in <module>
class AddNewUserProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
File "D:\example\lib\site-packages\django\forms\models.py",
line 257, in __new__
raise FieldError(message)
django.core.exceptions.FieldError: Unknown field(s) (birthday) specified for User
OK, I made changes that conflict with the code I wrote earlier, thus this exception raises. But, if I remove 'home' app from INSTALLED_APPS - the error does not go away, even if now 'home' shouldn't be treated as a part of the project at all (if I understand correctly).
So I have couple of questions:
How can I make migration for user_profile without refactoring all other code? E.g. I just want to see how it will be presented in database, I don't care about views and forms from other apps.
Is it possible to makemigrations and migrate and deal with this kind of errors AFTER everything is done? For me it seems to be quite easier to deal with them during execution than in the makemigration stage.
Of course I understand that one easy quick way to deal with it is just to re-write all the conflicting stuff, but that would just take much time and I don't really care about most of the stuff for now, I would like to leave it for later.
I use Django 1.9.1
