#25852 closed Bug (fixed)

Batch migrations fail when dependent on a custom manager

Reported by: lightstrike Owned by: Simon Charette

Description

Running a migration containing a RunPython operation that relies on a custom manager assigned using migrations.alterModelManagers in a previous migration within a batch migration sequences results in a AttributeError being thrown. Running the migration that assigns a new manager in a separate manage.py migrate command as the command that contains the RunPython operation succeeds as expected.

This issue was first raised in a ​Stack Overflow post in March. ​One of the answers contains a workaround but this is less than ideal.

​A sample app was created that shows this bug in action. To reproduce:

  1. Create new Django project & copy ticket_geoff app in root project directory.
  2. Add ticket_geoff to INSTALLED_APPS
  3. Run python manage.py migrate - note AssertionError
  4. Run python manage.py migrate - this time it's okay

Another way to reproduce, showing that running the migration that changes model managers and running the migration with the RunPython command in separate migrate commands runs successfully:

  1. Create new Django project & copy ticket_geoff app in root project directory.
  2. Run python manage.py migrate - sets up base tables
  3. Add ticket_geoff to INSTALLED_APPS
  4. Run python manage.py migrate ticket_geoff 0003 - all good
  5. Run python manage.py migrate ticket_geoff - fine

Patch looks good to me, just needs a release note in 1.8 since its a bug in a newly introduced feature which makes the feature pretty broken.
