I have the following project structure:
project/__init__.py
from flask import Flask
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
from flask_migrate import Migrate
db = SQLAlchemy()
migrate = Migrate()
def create_app():
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.from_object(os.environ['APP_SETTINGS'])
db.init_app(app)
migrate.init_app(app, db)
return app
run.py
from project import create_app
app = create_app()
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
manage.py
from flask_script import Manager
from flask_migrate import MigrateCommand
from project.models import *
from project import create_app
manager = Manager(create_app)
manager.add_command('db', MigrateCommand)
if __name__ == '__main__':
manager.run()
Yet when I run the following commands, Flask-Migrate is not detecting any tables to be added.
python manage.py db init
Which outputs:
Creating directory $HOME/Project/migrations ... done
Creating directory $HOME/Project/migrations/versions ... done
Generating $HOME/Project/migrations/script.py.mako ... done
Generating $HOME/Project/migrations/env.py ... done
Generating $HOME/Project/migrations/README ... done
Generating $HOME/Project/migrations/alembic.ini ... done
Please edit configuration/connection/logging settings in
'$HOME/Project/migrations/alembic.ini' before proceeding.
and
python manage.py db migrate
Which only outputs:
INFO [alembic.runtime.migration] Context impl PostgresqlImpl.
INFO [alembic.runtime.migration] Will assume transactional DDL.
Why is Flask-Migrate with Alembic not detecting the Models and therefore creating the tables? Here's what I've tried:
EDIT:
Here is an example of the models.py file
from flask import current_app
from project import db
from flask_login import UserMixin
class User(db.Model, UserMixin):
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
name = db.Column(db.String(50))
The normal migration process goes as follows: You will make some changes to your models in your Python source code. You will then run flask db migrate to generate a new database migration for these changes. You will finally apply the changes to the database by running flask db upgrade .
Flask-Migrate is an extension that handles SQLAlchemy database migrations for Flask applications using Alembic. The database operations are provided as command-line arguments under the flask db command.
The solution was to import the models in the __init__.py file like so:
def create_app():
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.from_object(os.environ['APP_SETTINGS'])
from project import models
db.init_app(app)
migrate.init_app(app, db)
return app
