35151	makemigrations hangs forever on complex apps/models	Seth Syberg	nobody	"I have a relatively complex django/wagtail application with a large number of apps, models, and migrations. Because this is a private project where we have full control over how migrations roll out, every 6 months or so we delete all migrations and reproduce them into a single file per app (I believe this is a fairly common practice and significantly improves development setup and CD times for us). This has worked for years until recently... Now when we run makemigrations it hangs forever after producing the initial migration for the first 6 or 7 apps. 

I'm certain there is something about our setup causing a circular dependency issues or the like, which is certainly not django's problem, but the hanging/lack of error/lack of output does feel like a legitimate bug to me as we have no way to debug what is happening.

I understand this is a particularly nebulous / difficult to reproduce bug so I'm not sure what next steps could be. Perhaps this is a feature request for much more explicit output during makemigrations to facilitate debugging."	Bug	closed	Migrations	5.0	Normal	needsinfo	migrations hang		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
