Can't figure out what to do to solve this problem. I am trying to create a custom user model but when i try to migrate it throws this error.
Here is managers.py:
from django.contrib.auth.base_user import BaseUserManager
from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _
class CustomUserManager(BaseUserManager):
"""
Custom user model manager where email is the unique identifiers
for authentication instead of usernames.
"""
def create_user(self, email, password, **extra_fields):
"""
Create and save a User with the given email and password.
"""
if not email:
raise ValueError(_('The Email or Phone numvber must be set'))
email = self.normalize_email(email)
user = self.model(email=email, **extra_fields)
user.set_password(password)
user.save()
return user
def create_superuser(self, email, password, **extra_fields):
"""
Create and save a SuperUser with the given email and password.
"""
extra_fields.setdefault('is_staff', True)
extra_fields.setdefault('is_superuser', True)
extra_fields.setdefault('is_active', True)
if extra_fields.get('is_staff') is not True:
raise ValueError(_('Superuser must have is_staff=True.'))
if extra_fields.get('is_superuser') is not True:
raise ValueError(_('Superuser must have is_superuser=True.'))
return self.create_user(email, password, **extra_fields)
Here is models.py:
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin
from django.db import models
from django.utils import timezone
from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _
from .managers import CustomUserManager
class CustomUser(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
email = models.CharField(_('email or phone number'), max_length=175, unique=True)
is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
date_joined = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
REQUIRED_FIELDS = []
objects = CustomUserManager()
def __str__(self):
return self.email
Thanks in advance, please explain what went wrong
Try this steps
AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'your_app_name.CustomUser'
--- Delete `migrations` folder
--- also delete `db.sqlite3` (database file)
--- run command `python manage.py makemigrations your_app_name`
--- then run `python manage.py migrate`
