Description

  1. python manage.py startapp a
  2. python manage.py startapp b

It is important that app a is in alphabetically ordering before app b

  1. Add both apps to INSTALLED_APPS

  1. Add a model to app a:
    from django.db import models
    
    
    class MyModel(models.Model):
        pass
    
  1. Add a model to app b:
    from django.db import models
    
    
    class MyModel(models.Model):
        pass
    
  1. python manage.py makemigrations

  1. Add a ForeignKey from b.MyModel to a.MyModel
    from django.db import models
    
    
    class MyModel(models.Model):
        a = models.ForeignKey('a.MyModel', null=True)
    
  1. python manage.py makemigrations

  1. Remove the ForeignKey on b.MyModel to a.MyModel
    from django.db import models
    
    
    class MyModel(models.Model):
        pass
    
  1. python manage.py makemigrations

  1. Remove a.MyModel
  2. python manage.py makemigrations

  1. python manage.py showmigrations --plan -v 3
    [ ]  a.0001_initial
    [ ]  a.0002_delete_mymodel ... (a.0001_initial)
    [ ]  b.0001_initial
    [ ]  b.0002_mymodel_a ... (a.0001_initial, b.0001_initial)
    [ ]  b.0003_remove_mymodel_a ... (b.0002_mymodel_a)
    
  2. $ python manage.py migrate
    Operations to perform:
      Apply all migrations: a, b
    Running migrations:
      Rendering model states... DONE
      Applying a.0001_initial... OK

        self._related_fields = self.resolve_related_fields()
      File "/home/markus/Coding/django/django/db/models/fields/related.py", line 1676, in resolve_related_fields
        raise ValueError('Related model %r cannot be resolved' % self.remote_field.model)
    ValueError: Related model 'a.MyModel' cannot be resolved
    

The problem is that the migration a.0002_delete_mymodel doesn't have any information that it must be applied after b.0003_remove_mymodel_a which in turn removes any references to a.MyModel again.

I created a demo project to demonstrate the problem: https://github.com/MarkusH/django-ticket-triage/compare/master...ticket24572

Triage Stage: UnreviewedAccepted

There's more to this than just the fact that a.2 requires b.3 but b.3 is not a dependency of a.2. Even if a.2 exists but is not run, the above error will be thrown when migrating to b.2. Git bisect shows that this particular error is a regression from 1aa3e09c2043c88a760e8b73fb95dc8f1ffef50e.

Fixing the regressions from that commit at least opens up an easy workaround that doesn't involve deleting migration files. A simple manage.py migrate b followed by manage.py migrate a will work.

Actually it is bbbed99f6260a8b3e65cb990e49721b1ce4a441b. Which also makes way more sense, as this does use a.2 to generate the initial state right before each migration that needs to be applied. See https://github.com/django/django/blob/3e7d9d05ac5efff4e4732c3453c7a8ef502d0ed0/django/db/migrations/executor.py#L65 for details.

The right workaround is to add the dependency manually.

Adding the dependency automatically would require keeping close track of the dependency at the model and field level.
