#22997 new Bug

Migration fails when removing explicit primary key (Postgres)

Reported by: a.lloyd.flanagan@… Owned by: nobody
Component: Migrations Version: 1.7
Severity: Normal Keywords: migrate primary_key
Cc: Triage Stage: Accepted
Has patch: no Needs documentation: no
Needs tests: no Patch needs improvement: no
Easy pickings: no UI/UX: no

Description

The automatic migration created by migrate fails when

  • a table was created with a field where "primary_key=True" is specified.
  • data is added to the table
  • The model is modified so that no field is primary key, and Django auto-creates "id" field.

To reproduce the problem:

  1. create new model, set some field as primary key
  2. set up migrations with initial migration
  3. modify model so field is not primary key
  4. generate migration

Problems:

  • will ask for default value for auto-generated ID field
  • will try to create id field as primary key, before modifying existing key

Manual Fix:

  • remove default from models.AutoField() call
  • reverse order of operations so AlterField() comes before AddField()

I'm attaching a session log with a complete transcript.

I guess it's probably too much of an edge case to be a blocker for 1.7, but would be nice if it "just worked".
