django.db.utils.IntegrityError: column "color_set_id" contains null values

Question

app.models.py

class ColorSet(models.Model):
    color = models.CharField(max_length=50, verbose_name='Color', default='', blank=True, null=True)
    code = models.CharField(max_length=50, verbose_name='Code of color', default='', blank=True, null=True)

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = 'Color'
        verbose_name_plural = 'Colors'

Also project.models.py

class Product(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200, verbose_name='Title of product')
    slug_field = models.SlugField(max_length=50, verbose_name='Slug', default='')
    description = models.TextField(verbose_name='Description')
    color_set = models.ForeignKey(ColorSet, verbose_name='Color', default='', blank=True, null=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return '%s %s %s' % (self.title, '->', self.category)

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = "Product"
        verbose_name_plural = "Products"

If I am doing 'migrate', I see something like this

django.db.utils.IntegrityError: column "color_set_id" contains null values

I tried to add 'blank = True, null = True', but it's didn't help me. How can I fix this problem?

Answer 1

Follow these steps

• python manage.py migrate --fake

• comment color_set

• python manage.py makemigrations && python manage.py migrate
• uncomment color_set
• python manage.py makemigrations && python manage.py migrate

Answer 2

The problem is because you added null=True after creating the migration file. Follow these steps now.

1) Drop ColorSet & Product tables from your local table database.
2) Delete all the migration files you created for these `CharField to a ForeignKey` change
3) execute `python manage.py makemigrations`
4) execute 'python manage.py migrate'
