syncdb/test not possible when using dynamic choices from django.contrib.auth.models.user

[manuel.gysin@…]

Hello

I found an strange bug while testing around with python manage.py test.

As soon as django tries to create the database it stops with the following error:

django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such table: auth_user

Error Stack:
​http://pastebin.com/pXPHkwJT

The error is caused by:

class Character(models.Model):

    def _choices_user():
        users = User.objects.all()
        users = users.order_by('id')
        return [(e.id, e.username) for e in users]

    ...

I uploaded an sample project here ​https://github.com/ManuelGysin/ChoicesBugDjango.

It's not a bug in Django. Consider using a ForeignKey rather than IntegerField. If you need further help, please use our support channels.

Hello!

In a normal case yes. But in my scenario we use a multi database setup.
The only way to is to use IntegerField!

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is a bug.
