InvalidBasesError when running manage.py migrate

[strelnikovdmitrij]

what does it exactly means and how to handle it?
all the time after adding new model this raise error
if not raising, (on very basic models add) and new model should be created - its actually don't create any

Could you include the models as well? Particularly, if there are any that do more than just inherit from models.Model. I suspect the problem lies somewhere in there.

[strelnikovdmitrij]

hi Timo,
all my models are inherit from models.Model or AbstractBase for User custom model
if you still want to provide them - which one do you need?

regards,
Dmitrij

[Tim Graham]

We need a minimal set of models to reproduce the issue. #22743 seems to be a duplicate and the models provided there may be enough.

[Tim Graham]

I couldn't reproduce this with the models in #22743. I wonder if it might be more than just the models themselves. For example, #22660 reports this error when there are dependencies between migrate and unmigrated apps. Could this be the same issue?

[Tim Graham]

Please retest with the latest master or stable/1.7.x and reopen with details if this is still an issue.

[anonymous]

This seems to have regressed. I can reproduce the error with these models on today's stable/1.7.x

from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType
from django.db import models


class PageElement(models.Model):
    content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType)


class Link(PageElement):
    href = models.CharField(max_length=255)

[Ben Davis]

Sorry, posted that last comment anonymously (and before finishing). I've attached an example project to reproduce the exception. This example is fairly basic and doesn't use swappable models. Just basic model inheritance. The starnge thing is, if you rename "PageEleemnt" to "BaseElement", the migration works. This leads me to believe theirs a dict or set is being used somewhere where order is important.

Example project to reproduce InvalidBaseError

[Collin Anderson]

I can confirm that the simple testproject does not work either on the latest 1.7.x or on master, and that it works fine if the model is named BaseElement. Would it help to debug if we gave ModelState a __repr__()?

[Collin Anderson]

I believe the issue is that the auto-generated migration creates Link first (with base PageElement), then creates PageElement second:

    operations = [
        migrations.CreateModel(
            name='Link',
            fields=[
                ('href', models.CharField(max_length=255)),
            ],
            options={
            },
            bases=('testapp.pageelement',),
        ),
        migrations.CreateModel(
            name='PageElement',
            fields=[
                ('id', models.AutoField(verbose_name='ID', serialize=False, auto_created=True, primary_key=True)),
                ('content_type', models.ForeignKey(to='contenttypes.ContentType', to_field='id')),
            ],
            options={
            },
            bases=(models.Model,),
        ),
        migrations.AddField(
            model_name='link',
            name='pageelement_ptr',
            field=models.OneToOneField(auto_created=True, primary_key=True, to_field='id', serialize=False, to='testapp.PageElement'),
            preserve_default=True,
        ),
    ]

I've made a stabke.1.7.x checkout now with that commit and still contenttypes doesn't want to migrate.

Hi there,

Same problem here with a fresh checkout of stable/1.7.x when running my tests (which used to works a few weeks ago):

    filtre_organisation = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    telephone = models.CharField(u'téléphone', max_length=100, blank=True)

    class Meta:
