Django migrate : doesn't create tables

Question

After some errors, I dropped my database, deleted all my migration files (I left init.py). Now, when I run

python migrate.py makemigrations   /         


        

Answer 1

This is how I got @JulienD's answer to work:

1. I added metadata to my model def in models.py:

class thing(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=200) class Meta: app_label = 'things' managed = True

2. Execute:

python manage.py makemigrations

3. Execute:

python manage.py migrate

After that python manage.py showmigrations shows the migrations and the admin site started working.
