Description

When running makemigrations <app_label>, the interactive questioner will still ask questions regarding apps you didn't pass to the command, even though the migrations aren't created for those apps.

Hi,

Indeed, I've managed to reproduce the behavior you describe.

I agree that we should try and make the interactive a bit smarter if we can (ie, not ask questions that won't be used for creating migrations).

Thanks.

I'd actually change this ticket to, "makemigrations ignores app labels for conflicts". From the looks of it, there are three issues I would classify as improper behavior:

  1. (Original ticket) Interactive questioner will ask a "y/N" question for an app that was not specified.
  2. An outstanding conflict in an unspecified app will throw a CommandErorr if merge is set to False.
  3. An outstanding conflict in an unspecified app will create a migration file if merge is set to True, interactive is set to True, and "y" is answered.

The expected behavior is to ignore apps that have not been specified when at least one app has been specified. There are two ways of going about eliminating these behaviors:

  1. Filter out conflicts from loader.detect_conflicts in the makemigrations module by app_labels. This localizes the required changes but may be inefficient as conflicts will be scanned for unspecified apps.
  2. Pass in app_labels to loader.detect_conflicts() and only scan for conflicts in the apps that have been specified. This is more efficient but touches more code.

I'd like to hear what people have to say about this. If necessary, I can create the tickets for issues 2 and 3 if merging them all into this one is inappropriate.

Looks good to me. Bumping to RFC to give Andrew a chance to look and ensure he's okay with the approach rather than the other option you mentioned.
