Django: relation "django_site" does not exist in app with psql using sites framework


after switching from sqlite to postgres for local dev db, I am unable to run migrations for my app.

Several fixes and approaches I've attempted have not resolved (ex: Django: relation "django_site" does not exist).

python: 3.6.3

Django Version: 1.11.9

psql (PostgreSQL): 10.1

installed apps:

DJANGO_APPS = (
# Default Django apps:
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'django.contrib.gis',
'django.contrib.humanize',
'django.contrib.admin',
)

THIRD_PARTY_APPS = (
'widget_tweaks',
'mptt',
'channels',
'honeypot',
'gunicorn',
'djangosecure',

# Allauth
'allauth',
'allauth.account',
'allauth.socialaccount',
'allauth.socialaccount.providers.facebook',
)

LOCAL_APPS = (
'users.apps.UsersConfig', #because of a signal
'common',
'geo',
'community',
'objects',
)

INSTALLED_APPS = DJANGO_APPS + THIRD_PARTY_APPS + LOCAL_APPS

in .env file:

SITE_ID=1

solutions I have attempted:

Cleared all migrations and migration files and ran:

$ ./manage.py makemigrations

then I have attempted sequential and manual migrations of apps starting with django.contrib, such as:

$ ./manage.py migrate sites (first)

then applying additional migrations. but regardless of how I order app migrations does not change err or allow migration to complete.

I have also tried migrations with --fake-initial.

it looks like it is calling a site object before creating site model.

project/utils/middleware.py:

class SiteMiddleware(object):
    def process_request(self, request):
        try:
            current_site = Site.objects.get(domain=request.get_host())
        except Site.DoesNotExist:
            current_site = Site.objects.get(id=settings.SITE_ID)

        request.current_site = current_site

        if current_site.domain in settings.HOST_MIDDLEWARE_URLCONF_MAP:
            request.urlconf = settings.HOST_MIDDLEWARE_URLCONF_MAP[str(current_site)]

.pyenv/versions/3.6.3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/db/backends/utils.py:

class CursorWrapper(object):
    def __init__(self, cursor, db):
        self.cursor = cursor
        self.db = db

    WRAP_ERROR_ATTRS = frozenset(['fetchone', 'fetchmany', 'fetchall', 'nextset'])

    def __getattr__(self, attr):
        cursor_attr = getattr(self.cursor, attr)
        if attr in CursorWrapper.WRAP_ERROR_ATTRS:
            return self.db.wrap_database_errors(cursor_attr)
        else:
            return cursor_attr

    def __iter__(self):
        with self.db.wrap_database_errors:
            for item in self.cursor:
                yield item

    def __enter__(self):
        return self

    def __exit__(self, type, value, traceback):
        try:
            self.close()
        except self.db.Database.Error:
            pass

    def callproc(self, procname, params=None):
        self.db.validate_no_broken_transaction()
        with self.db.wrap_database_errors:
            if params is None:
                return self.cursor.callproc(procname)
            else:
                return self.cursor.callproc(procname, params)

    def execute(self, sql, params=None):
        self.db.validate_no_broken_transaction()
        with self.db.wrap_database_errors:
            if params is None:
                return self.cursor.execute(sql)
            else:
                return self.cursor.execute(sql, params)

    def executemany(self, sql, param_list):
        self.db.validate_no_broken_transaction()
        with self.db.wrap_database_errors:
            return self.cursor.executemany(sql, param_list)

Solution

  • You say that manage.py showmigrations sites shows the following:

    sites
    [X] 0001_initial
    [X] 0002_alter_domain_unique
    

    That means that Django thinks it has already carried out the migrations for the sites app (perhaps this is because you used --fake-initial)

    You could use --fake to mark the sites migrations as unapplied, then rerun migrate:

    manage.py migrate sites zero --fake
    manage.py migrate sites
