#22300 closed Uncategorized (fixed)

Migrations fail if a relation field is added where a non-rel field was

Description

Scenario is this: I have deleted a CharField with choices and replaced it with a ForeignKey to a new table. When Django tries to detect whether this is a "rename", it chokes because it *assumes* that any rel field that was added and might have been renamed was previously *also* a rel field.

Traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    old_rel_to = old_field_dec[2]['to']
KeyError: 'to'

Should be easy fix - just changing this:

                    if field.rel and field.rel.to:
                        old_rel_to = old_field_dec[2]['to']

to this:

                    if field.rel and field.rel.to and 'to' in old_field_dec[2]:
                        old_rel_to = old_field_dec[2]['to']

Hi,

I can't seem to be able to reproduce this.

I used this model:

class Foo(models.Model):
    foo = models.CharField(max_length=10)

After that, I ran makemigrations which correctly created the migration file.
I then changed the models to:

class Bar(models.Model):
    pass

class Foo(models.Model):
    foo = models.ForeignKey(Bar)

Running makemigrations again works and correctly creates a second migration files.

Can you show us the models you are using?

Thanks.

My pull request (https://github.com/django/django/pull/2452) includes a new test that fails without this fix.
