flask-migrate doesn't detect models


I am reading (and watching) about Flask-Migrate here: https://realpython.com/blog/python/flask-by-example-part-2-postgres-sqlalchemy-and-alembic/ and here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJibNSI-iaE#t=21

and doing everything from this tutorial:

After you install Flask-Migrate and run

python manage.py db init
python manage.py db migrate

it should detect all tables declared in models.py.

In my case, it detects nothing. And, based on the comments to the tutorial, it's not just my case. So, how do I make this work?


Solution

  • Make sure your model is imported by your app. In most cases your views.py should do that. But you can also import it directly from your app.py.
