#24447 closed Bug (fixed)

Migrations do not add a FK constraint for an existing column

Description (last modified by Jean-Louis Fuchs)

Pull request: https://github.com/django/django/pull/4235

Consider following model:

class ForeignKeyTest(models.Model):
    id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
    customer = models.IntegerField()

class Customer(models.Model):
    id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)

Then it gets migrated to this:

class ForeignKeyTest(models.Model):
    id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
    customer = models.ForeignKey('Customer')

class Customer(models.Model):
    id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)

The second migration won't create the foreign key. This does not fail with sqlite! Because these migrations are handled differently. It will fail with MySQL and probably Postgres too.

The code didn't detect this case: if old_field.rel doesn't exist alter_field() must always create the foreign key and ONLY if .rel exists it must check .db_constraint, too. Since no .rel also means there was no foreign key before.
