Django - no such table exception

Question

In Django, I've added some models into models.py. After manage.py makemigrations, manage.py migrate raised this exception:

django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such table: auth_test_usertranslatorprofile

I removed all old migrations and run makemigrations and migrate again which seemed to work. It didn't help because when I click on User customer profiles of User translator profiles it raises exception:

Where is the problem?

Answer 1

I solved the same problem with these steps :

• Delete your database (db.sqlite3 in my case) in your project directory
• Remove everything from __pycache__ folder under your project subdirectory
• For the application you are trying to fix, go to the folder and clear migrations and __pycache__ directories

When you are sure you have cleared all the above files, run:

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

I hope this helps.

Another case wihch can generate the no such table error. If your views.py or similar executes code that tries to access the DB when imported, i.e. importing views.py has side effects, then starting from scratch won't work.

This happens when your code was working with an existing DB, and now you're trying to start without a DB. Just change views.py so it can be imported without side effects. If you don't want to fix the design, do something like:

from django.db.utils import OperationalError
format_list = [('', '(all)')]
geom_type_list = [('', '(all)')]
try:
    format_list.extend([(i[0],i[0]) 
        for i in Format.objects.values_list('name')])
    geom_type_list.extend([(i[0],i[0]) 
        for i in Geom_type.objects.values_list('name')])
except OperationalError:
    pass  # happens when db doesn't exist yet, views.py should be
          # importable without this side effect

Answer 3

run below command. It solves me once this issue

manage.py migrate --run-syncdb
