-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
I am encountering a bug when renaming a model with RenameModel. My project
is fairly large with multiple applications and many migrations. With the
project in its current state, the migrations run correctly. I have added a
new migration with some earlier dependencies, which changed the order that
some of the migrations ran in, and now one of the Many to Many tables
foreign key column is not being renamed correctly.
I have tracked this issue down to the function
`_populate_directed_relation_graph` within `django/db/models/options.py`.
This function loops through all of the models and populates a
related_objects_graph with each model pointing to a list of related
fields.
Related fields are populated here
{{{
for f in fields_with_relations:
if not isinstance(f.remote_field.model, str):
related_objects_graph[f.remote_field.model._meta.concrete_model._meta].append(f)
}}}
and accessed here:
{{{
related_objects = related_objects_graph[model._meta.concrete_model._meta]
model._meta.__dict__['_relation_tree'] = related_objects
}}}
The bug seems to be that `f.remote_field.model._meta.concrete_model._meta`
is not the same for every field pointing to what should be the same model.
For example if my code looked like:
{{{
class M1(models.Model):
field1 = models.BooleanField()
class M2(models.Model):
m1 = models.ForeignKey(M1, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
class M3(models.Model):
m1s = models.ManyToManyField(M1, related_name="m3s")
}}}
then the populated `related_objects` for M1 might look like
{{{
defaultdict(<class 'list'>, {<Options for M1>:
[<django.db.models.fields.related.ForeignKey: m1>], <Options for M1>:
[<django.db.models.fields.related.ManyToManyField: m1s>]}
}}}
where each <Options for M1> is slightly different.
This is very likely a caching bug. When I disable the @cached_property
(see below) the bug does not occur. Additionally the bug only occurs when
I run the migrations start to finish. If I run the migrations one at a
time in the same order, this bug does not happen.
For diagnostics, I have found two changes to the Django code that cause
this bug to stop occurring. Neither of these are good changes to the
Django code.
The first is to change
{{{
related_objects_graph[f.remote_field.model._meta.concrete_model._meta].append(f)
}}}
to
{{{
related_objects_graph[f.remote_field.model._meta.concrete_model._meta.__str__()].append(f)
}}}
and
{{{
related_objects = related_objects_graph[model._meta.concrete_model._meta]
}}}
to
{{{
related_objects =
related_objects_graph[model._meta.concrete_model._meta.__str__()]
}}}
The other fix involved editing the ` __get__` function on
`cached_property` in `django/utils/functional.py`.
{{{
if instance is None:
return self
res = instance.__dict__[self.name] = self.func(instance)
return res
}}}
becomes
{{{
if instance is None:
return self
return self.func(instance)
}}}
crippling the caching but fixing the caching bug.
