Description

I guess it might look like:

from django.apps import AppConfig

class AppnameConfig(AppConfig):
    name = 'appname'

and in __init__.py: default_app_config = 'appname.apps.AppnameConfig'

Fixed #24971 -- Made startapp generate an apps.py

comment:5 by James Beith, 8 years ago

I just tested this with Django 1.9rc1 and the default_app_config statement was not added to the __init__.py file, the file was blank.

I noticed this first in my own project but also in a blank test project.

Steps

  • Created a new Python 3.4 virtualenv
  • Installed Django 1.9rc1 via pip
  • Ran django-admin startproject mysite
  • Ran python manage.py startapp polls from within the project

Expected Behaviour

  • An apps.py file is created with appropriate content
  • An __init__.py file is created with appropriate default_app_config statement

Actual Behaviour

  • An apps.py file is created with appropriate content
  • An __init__.py file is created but no default_app_config statement is included, the file is blank

That's intentional, see #25356.

comment:7 by Tim Graham, 8 years ago

That said, how about ​a small enhancement to the 1.9 release notes to clarify the expected behavior?

comment:8 by James Beith, 8 years ago

Yeah I think so. Especially if using default_app_config is discouraged, I wasn't aware of this.
