Description (last modified by Simon Charette)

This occurs when trying to apply a migration that contains a single modification: the application of a unique_together constraint. full traceback at the end, but the problem seems to come around here:

    self.create_model(temp_model)
  File "/workspace/virtualenv/lib/python3.3/site-packages/django/db/backends/schema.py", line 225, in create_model
    columns = [model._meta.get_field_by_name(field)[0].column for field in fields]
  File "/workspace/virtualenv/lib/python3.3/site-packages/django/db/models/options.py", line 387, in get_field_by_name
    % (self.object_name, name))
django.db.models.fields.FieldDoesNotExist: Item has no field named 'l'

Context: this is a model whose unique_together constraint is on its only two fields, which in this case are called list and text:

        migrations.AlterUniqueTogether(
            unique_together = set(['text', 'list']),
            name = 'item',
        ),

I did a little digging. Inside the 'schema.py', in the create_model function, a little debug print like this:

 print('unique_together', model._meta.unique_together)

gives

unique_together [('l', 'i', 's', 't'), ('t', 'e', 'x', 't')]

Looks like some list comprehension somewhere has gone wrong?

Minimal repro:
Just checkout this repo

https://github.com/hjwp/django-migrations-unique_together-bug-minimal-repro

make sure you're running the latest dev django. there's a requirements.txt in there.

then just cd into myproject, run python manage.py syncdb, and you should get:

$ python manage.py syncdb

Sorry about the double-pasteage of the traceback. I should add -- the problem only occurs if you try and apply the unique_together migration on its own. If you make a single migration that also creates the models, then migrate applies with no problems...

comment:3 by Harry Percival, 11 years ago

@charettes - thanks! if you feel like correcting a couple of other lazy typos, " in this case are called list and item:" should read " in this case are called list and text:", and also, the second traceback, listed after the words "full trac", is unnecessary (it just dupes the first one).

I'm not that familiar with the migration infrastructure yet but did you create that migrations.AlterUniqueTogether instance yourself or was it generated by django?

comment:5 by Harry Percival, 11 years ago

@charrettes, it's the migration that's generated automatically by the tool. I didn't roll it myself.

I suspect this is because the makemigration command doesn't handle the convenience case where unique_together is a single tuple instead of the usual tuple of tuples.
