Django: I get a [relation “auth_group” does not exist] error after syncdb

Question

I started a new Django 1.8 project and realized that I missed something (i had done the initial migrations). I dropped the database (postgreSQL) and deleted migration<

Answer 1

It can be either:

• one of the pip dependencies from requirements.txt was using South

  had this error when running tests which do migration in Django 1.8. Found the lib with issue by running tests in verbose mode. Consider upgrading the library to newer version.

manage.py test -v 3

• one of the /migrations folder might still has old South migrations files. It can be because others are still adding migrations when you are trying to upgrade Django. Use the following to make sure that the expected migrations files are present in each app.

manage.py showmigrations
