PyCharm discovering new core Django (rather than app) manage.py tasks?

Question

I'm hoping to use a newer Django (1.7.dev) inside PyCharm 2.7.3... so it's the only Django version installed in my project's virtualenv.

But, the "Tools" -> "Run manage.py task" list isn't discovering the new commands included in Django itself, like migrate or makemigrations. (Based on prior experience with apps like South, I'd hoped all available tasks would be auto-discovered.)

Is there a way to help PyCharm 2.7.3 discover and use these new options?

Answer 1

the "Tools" -> "Run manage.py task" doesn't see the makemigration or migrate argument.

You can run manage.py with right click on manage.py file in you project.

with this output:

As you can see "makemigrations" and "migrate" are in the available subcommands for django

So you have to "Run" - > "Edit Configurations" and add "makemigrations" or "migrate" in the script parameters

Now run the script and it works
