Description (last modified by Tim Graham)

Django 1.7rc2 on SQLite and Python 3.4. I'm trying to use squashmigrations. It broke, even with --no-optimize. The documentation said to report bugs.

My app myapp has a model MyModel with a couple foreign keys to django.contrib.auth.User (yes, auth is in my INSTALLED_APPS, despite what the stack trace below says; notably everything was working fine before squashing):

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db.models import Model, ForeignKey

class MyModel(Model):
    creator = ForeignKey(User, related_name='mymodel_creator_set')
    modifier = ForeignKey(User, related_name='mymodel_modifier_set')
    # ... and then a bunch of business logic...

I have a few other models with foreign keys to User, but that's the one that shows up in the stack trace.

I had accumulated 18 migrations, which were slowing down my tests (the migrations always run at the start of migrations.py test, at least when developing on SQLite). So I ran

(venv) $ ./manage.py squashmigrations myapp 0018

Then when I ran

(venv) $ rm db.sqlite3 && ./manage.py migrate

I got the stack trace below. When I deleted the squashed migration and reran it with --no-optimize, I got exactly the same stack trace.

(venv3) $ rm db.sqlite3 && ./manage.py migrate

Could you try with the latest stable/1.7.x. Also a minimal project that we could download with steps to reproduce would be really helpful.

Sorry I haven't been very helpful -- completely slammed at work. For what it's worth, I reran the migration with stable/1.7.x @ 67870137b and the squash worked. I was unable to come up with a test case that wasn't my whole project.
