flask-migrate cannot drop table because other objects depend on it

Problem applying just created migration (Added db.Model) through Flask-Migrate (SQLAlchemy) for PostgresSQL DB. The error itself:

sqlalchemy.exc.InternalError: (psycopg2.InternalError) cannot drop table parameter_subtype because other objects depend on it

Full error stack trace is:

DETAIL:  constraint parameter_parameter_subtype_id_fkey on table parameter depends on table parameter_subtype
HINT:  Use DROP ... CASCADE to drop the dependent objects too.
 [SQL: '\nDROP TABLE parameter_subtype']

This leads to table not created in PostgreSQL db and columns either. Unsure what may have caused this problem and how to understand this Error message.

I did manually drop the tables and it helped. However how to be with migration. Any Suggestions?

Flask-Migrate does not read in the database to see the dependencies between the objects. You can achieve a successful migration by reordering the drop_table in your migration file.

What you can do is modify the migration file like so:

op.drop_table("parameter_subtype")
op.drop_table("parameter")

And then run the upgrade command. Normally ordering the drop in this order should solve the problem.
