Django test error: django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation "auth

I have a django app which has not been tested lately. I have to run a custom command. I have written a test for it and run all migrations. I was able to successfully run all migrations. When I tried to run the test then the following error was thrown.

python manage.py test
Creating test database for alias 'default'...
Got an error creating the test database: database "test_ILIDD_db" already exists

Type 'yes' if you would like to try deleting the test database 'test_ILIDD_db', or 'no' to cancel: yes
Destroying old test database for alias 'default'...
Traceback (most recent call last):

    return self.cursor.execute(sql, params)
psycopg2.errors.UndefinedTable: relation "auth_group" does not exist


The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation "auth_group" does not exist

I tried to run migrate auth seperately. There were no migrations to apply

Operations to perform:
  Apply all migrations: auth
Running migrations:
  No migrations to apply.

CodePudding user response：

The following django-app help to run django tests without affecting the migration conflicts.

Install 'django-test-without-migrations'

pip install django-test-without-migrations

add it it in INSTALLED_APPS

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # ...
    'test_without_migrations',
)

Then run,

python manage.py test --nomigrations

--nomigrations make sure your tests won't fail due to the migrations issues.

Refer: https://pypi.org/project/django-test-without-migrations/

CodePudding user response：

python manage.py makemigrations auth

then

python manage.py makemigrations
