-------------------------------+-----------------------------
Reporter: snopoke | Owner: nobody
Type: Uncategorized | Status: new
Component: Migrations | Version: 1.7
Severity: Normal | Keywords: to_field rename
Triage Stage: Unreviewed | Has patch: 0
Easy pickings: 0 | UI/UX: 0
-------------------------------+-----------------------------
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a model with a foreign key referencing another model's field via
the 'to_field' arg.
2. Generate the initial migration
{{{#!python
class Bar(models.Model):
bar_id = models.CharField(max_length=255, db_index=True, unique=True)
class Bazz(models.Model):
bar = models.ForeignKey(Bar, to_field='bar_id')
}}}
3. Rename the field referenced in 'to_field' and create a migration for
the change
Rename 'bar_id' to 'external_id':
{{{#!python
class Bar(models.Model):
external_id = models.CharField(max_length=255, db_index=True,
unique=True)
class Bazz(models.Model):
bar = models.ForeignKey(Bar, to_field='external_id')
}}}
Migration:
{{{#!python
operations = [
migrations.RenameField(
model_name='bar',
old_name='bar_id',
new_name='external_id',
),
migrations.AlterField(
model_name='bazz',
name='bar',
field=models.ForeignKey(to='form_processor.Bar',
to_field=b'external_id'),
preserve_default=True,
),
]
}}}
4. Run the migration
Error:
