I made the mistake of not using a custom user model for the first migration and I paid the price by having to delete all the migrations and makemigrations and migrate again as I switched the project to use my custom user.
models.py
"""
Changes are never picked by makemigrations
"""
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser
from django.db import models
class User(AbstractUser):
username = models.CharField(max_length=120, unique=True, blank=False,
validators=[MinLengthValidator(2)])
email = models.EmailField('Email Address', unique=True, blank=False)
FCM_ID = models.CharField(max_length=300, blank=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.username
Everytime I made any changes to the custom user, I have had to delete all migrations related files and apply migrations again just to get past the errors- this SO answer and this.
Now I realized that I needed a newer change, but migrations are not detected after changing the User model. The only solution I have is to delete the migrations again! So far I have done this chore like 5 times and I am tired, what am I doing wrong?
I have tried python3 manage.py makemigration <app_name>, and of course, the custom user model is defined in settings.py using AUTH_USER_MODEL.
