Dear Django developers, can apps that use migrations depend on unmigrated apps?
The documentation at <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/migrations/#dependencies> explains how dependencies work, and explicitly mentions that unmigrated apps cannot depend on migrated apps.
In turn it seems to imply that migrated apps *can* depend on unmigrated apps, but is that correct? In the docs example where `books` have a foreign key and thus depend on `authors`, does it really work if `authors` is unmigrated? How would it be able to run the `authors` migration to create the table the foreign key in `books` references, if `authors` is unmigrated?
This is an implication of my so far unfruitful attempts to add migrations to an older, existing app as described in thread <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-users/lVS24BGFouo>, where I have exactly this situation:
The older app is still unmigrated (as I could not yet find a way to overcome the problems with making it migrated), and would like to create a new one in the meanwhile. The new app has a foreign key on a model in the old one, and now I'm wondering if it is wise to proceed...?
Any hints and help would very much be appreciated! :-) Best regards, Carsten -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
