Description

Hi,

I just run throught the first part of the tutorial, until I get stuck for a few minutes with the python manage.py sql polls :

$ python manage.py sql polls
BEGIN;
COMMIT;
$

The model for this setup is :

from django.db import models

class Poll(models.Model):
    question = models.CharField(maxlength=200)
    pub_date = models.DateiTimeField('date published')

class Choice(models.Model):
    poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll)
    choice = models.CharField(maxlength=200)
    votes = models.IntergerField()

Of course, it is wrong, since 'DateiTimeField' and 'IntergerField' are mispelled, which is reported by python manage.py validate polls :

$ python manage.py validate polls
mysite.polls: 'module' object has no attribute 'DateiTimeField'
1 error found.
$ python manage.py validate polls
mysite.polls: 'module' object has no attribute 'IntergerField'
1 error found.
$ python manage.py validate polls
0 errors found.
$

But, I think python manage.py sql should report the error too, or at least give a hint.

This can sort of be fixed by adding a call to validate() inside the execute_from_command_line() function in django/core/management.py. This will validate the installed models when sql/sqlall are run, and show up the errors quite nicely, before exiting with an AttributeError.

It'd be nicer to handle the AttributeError's better and to not display "0 errors found" when the models are fine, but I think this will involve modifying validate, get_validation_errors, or _check_for_validation_errors, and I didn't want to go near that.

(In [3802]) Fixed #2425 -- Call validate() as part of generating SQL in order to catch a
few more errors. Thanks, Simon Greenhill.
