#11226 closed (fixed)

Name clashes in ManyToMany

Reported by: pkoch Owned by: nobody
Component: Database layer (models, ORM) Version: dev
Severity: Keywords: ManyToMany name clash
Cc: Triage Stage: Accepted
Has patch: yes Needs documentation: no
Needs tests: no Patch needs improvement: no
Easy pickings: no UI/UX: no

Description

When both sides of a ManyToMany relation are of different classes and have the same object_name, a clash occours.

To reproduce:

  • Create two apps, legacy and next_gen,
  • Create a Model with the same name on both,
  • Create a ManyToMany between them, and
  • Run manage.py syncdb

My first take on a solution is in the attached patch.

Interesting edge case. However, patch needs tests - I would suggest the m2m_regress regression test defining a User model with an m2m to contrib.auth.User.
