I'm using Travis for CI/CD as part of my Django app, with a postgresql database. (Django 2.1.4)
The build consistently fails on Travis as soon as the tests run. I receive this error:
psycopg2.errors.UndefinedTable: relation "auth_user" does not exist
I have tried: makemigrations
, migrate auth
, migrate myapp
, migrate --run-syncdb
. All of which fail with the same error.
The tests run locally with a sqlite3 database, and on a prod-like heroku environment with a postgresql database.

Here is the output from the failing build on Travis. 'migrate auth' is successful (I think this is the crucial line for auth_user : Applying auth.0001_initial... OK
)

I ran into the same problem after adding a model for an app that was already installed, but forgetting to creating the initial migration. OP hid the answer in the comments so here are explicit steps:
$ mkdir myapp/migrations
$ touch myapp/migrations/__init__.py
After this I got a new error when trying to run python manage.py test
psycopg2.errors.InvalidCursorName: cursor "_django_curs_140073820227328_58" does not exist
One more step was needed:
$ python manage.py makemigrations
And then tests ran fine.
I deleted the sqllite3 database then I ran
$ python manage.py migrate
then
$ python manage.py migrate --run-syncdb
The issue is that one of your apps is calling or referencing a non-existent model. The model may be in your code but no migration has been run for it.
Fix: Make sure all your apps have a migration package (i.e. migration folder with init.py file), then run makemigrations and migrate.
