#22682 closed Bug (fixed)

Makemigrations fails when specifying custom location for migration files

Description

When running the initial:

python ./manage.py makemigrations appname

a "migrations" directory is automatically created inside the apps base directory.

When specifying a custom migration file location via MIGRATION_MODULES setting, running initial migration fails to create the directories needed for the migration files. One would expect the same behavior in both situations.

In my case, I want to have all the migrations inside a generic folder named "migrations", setup like so:

# in settings:
MIGRATION_MODULES = dict([(app, 'migrations.' + app) for app in INSTALLED_APPS])

# running makemigrations
python ./manage.py makemigrations appname

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./manage.py", line 10, in <module>
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
  File "/home/dev/.envs/atlas2/src/django/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 427, in execute_from_command_line
    utility.execute()

    self.execute(*args, **options.__dict__)
  File "/home/dev/.envs/atlas2/src/django/django/core/management/base.py", line 337, in execute
    output = self.handle(*args, **options)
  File "/home/dev/.envs/atlas2/src/django/django/core/management/commands/makemigrations.py", line 54, in handle
    loader = MigrationLoader(None)
  File "/home/dev/.envs/atlas2/src/django/django/db/migrations/loader.py", line 47, in __init__
    self.build_graph()
  File "/home/dev/.envs/atlas2/src/django/django/db/migrations/loader.py", line 144, in build_graph
    self.load_disk()
  File "/home/dev/.envs/atlas2/src/django/django/db/migrations/loader.py", line 71, in load_disk
    module = import_module(module_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/importlib/__init__.py", line 37, in import_module
    __import__(name)
ImportError: No module named appname

I would expect the same behavior in both cases, i.e. have the modules automatically created.

Update: I manually created the directories, but it ignored them and added the migration files in their default locations for contrib apps (i.e. inside django installation). I'm using 1.7b4 cloned from git.

Looks reasonable, there's nothing in the docs for MIGRATION_MODULES that says the directory must already exist.
