22998	GenericRelation cascade deletion doesn't fire pre_delete signals	gwahl@…	nobody	"I have three models:

Node (gfk to)-> Content (fk to)-> Related

Deleting a Related cascades to delete the Content which cascades to delete the Node (because Content has a GenericRelation). This is the expected behavior. However, in Django 1.5 pre_delete would be trigger on Node before deleting it. In 1.6, this is no longer the case.

I've written a test case here: https://github.com/fusionbox/django/tree/generic_relation_cascade_signal. The test passes on 1.5 and fails on 1.6, 1.7, and master.

This is a regression introduced in 97774429aeb54df4c09895c07cd1b09e70201f7d for #19385. 

This may be related to #22594 -- both involve fast_delete incorrectly returning True."	Bug	closed	Database layer (models, ORM)	1.6	Release blocker	fixed			Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
