Django 1.7 data migration for custom user model

问题

I have created a custom user model for my project. I have written a data migration file to copy contents of auth.User to my new custom user table. It doesn't seem to work properly. It is throwing below error,

from django.db import migrations, transaction

@transaction.atomic
def copy_old_users(apps, schema_editor):
    User = apps.get_model("auth", "User")
    CustomUser = apps.get_model("custom_auth", "User")
    fields = ['id', 'username', 'email', 'first_name', 'last_name',
          'is_staff', 'is_active', 'date_joined', 'is_superuser',
          'last_login', 'password']

for user in User.objects.all():
    custom_user = CustomUser()
    for field in fields:
        setattr(custom_user, field, getattr(user, field))

    custom_user.save()

    custom_user.groups.add(*user.groups.all())
    custom_user.user_permissions.add(*user.user_permissions.all())

class Migration(migrations.Migration):

    dependencies = [
    ('auth', '0001_initial'),
    ('custom_auth', '0001_initial'),
    ]

    operations = [
        migrations.RunPython(copy_old_users),
    ]

When I run python manage.py migrate, I am getting this error, unning migrations:

回答1:

You should set AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'auth.User' in settings.py before run this migrate and after this migrate finishes, update the settings.py to AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'custom_auth.User'

回答2:

I solved this issue using below workaround,

from __future__ import unicode_literals

from django.db import models, migrations


class Migration(migrations.Migration):

    dependencies = [
         ('custom_auth', '0001_initial'),
    ]

    operations = [
        migrations.RunSQL('INSERT INTO custom_auth_user SELECT * FROM auth_user'),
        migrations.RunSQL('INSERT INTO custom_auth_user_groups SELECT * FROM auth_user_groups'),
        migrations.RunSQL('INSERT INTO custom_auth_user_user_permissions SELECT * FROM auth_user_user_permissions'),
    ]
