I am trying to create initial users in Django 1.7 via a simple data migration like so:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from __future__ import unicode_literals from django.conf import settings from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model from django.db import models, migrations def populate_initial_data(apps, schema_editor): User = apps.get_model(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL) Group = apps.get_model('auth', 'Group') user = User.objects.create_user("test", email="t...@test.com", password="test") # AttributeError: 'Manager' object has no attribute 'create_user' group = Group.objects.create(name="Test Group") user.groups.add(group) class Migration(migrations.Migration): dependencies = [ ('auth', '__first__') ] operations = [ migrations.RunPython(populate_initial_data) ] However the instance of User does not have a UserManager, but rather a vanilla Manager object? Possibly related problem, if I instead retrieve User via get_user_model() then I get a type error attempting to add that user to a group, like so: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from __future__ import unicode_literals from django.conf import settings from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model from django.db import models, migrations def populate_initial_data(apps, schema_editor): User = get_user_model() Group = apps.get_model('auth', 'Group') user = User.objects.create_user("test", email="t...@test.com", password="test") group = Group.objects.create(name="Test Group") user.groups.add(group) # TypeError: 'Group' instance expected, got <Group: Group object> class Migration(migrations.Migration): dependencies = [ ('auth', '__first__') ] operations = [ migrations.RunPython(populate_initial_data) ] I'm trying to replace the functionality of fixtures, which has apparently been deprecated with apps that use migrations.
