I'm having problems with a migration after cleaning up an oddity with a date field and I'm not sure how to fix it. Any advice appreciated.
I made this change to a date field: - start_date = models.DateField(db_index=True, default=False, - help_text="The date enrollment can begin this Season.") + start_date = models.DateField(db_index=True, help_text="The date enrollment can begin this Season.") I'm not sure how a default of False ever made it, but I ran across it and fixed it. This is the migration that was created: class Migration(migrations.Migration): dependencies = [ ('district', '0012_auto_20160622_1741'), ] operations = [ migrations.AlterField( model_name='season', name='start_date', field=models.DateField(help_text=b'The date enrollment can begin this Season.', db_index=True), ), ] This is the error I get trying to run the migration: Applying district.0013_auto_20170204_1811...Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 9, in <module> execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "/Users/leehinde/Documents/Clients/rnrvirtual/venv-python2.7-django/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 354, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/Users/leehinde/Documents/Clients/rnrvirtual/venv-python2.7-django/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 346, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "/Users/leehinde/Documents/Clients/rnrvirtual/venv-python2.7-django/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 394, in run_from_argv self.execute(*args, **cmd_options) File "/Users/leehinde/Documents/Clients/rnrvirtual/venv-python2.7-django/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 445, in execute output = self.handle(*args, **options) File "/Users/leehinde/Documents/Clients/rnrvirtual/venv-python2.7-django/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/migrate.py", line 222, in handle executor.migrate(targets, plan, fake=fake, fake_initial=fake_initial) File "/Users/leehinde/Documents/Clients/rnrvirtual/venv-python2.7-django/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/migrations/executor.py", line 110, in migrate self.apply_migration(states[migration], migration, fake=fake, fake_initial=fake_initial) File "/Users/leehinde/Documents/Clients/rnrvirtual/venv-python2.7-django/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/migrations/executor.py", line 148, in apply_migration state = migration.apply(state, schema_editor) File "/Users/leehinde/Documents/Clients/rnrvirtual/venv-python2.7-django/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/migrations/migration.py", line 115, in apply operation.database_forwards(self.app_label, schema_editor, old_state, project_state) File "/Users/leehinde/Documents/Clients/rnrvirtual/venv-python2.7-django/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/migrations/operations/fields.py", line 201, in database_forwards schema_editor.alter_field(from_model, from_field, to_field) File "/Users/leehinde/Documents/Clients/rnrvirtual/venv-python2.7-django/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/base/schema.py", line 484, in alter_field old_db_params, new_db_params, strict) File "/Users/leehinde/Documents/Clients/rnrvirtual/venv-python2.7-django/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/base/schema.py", line 566, in _alter_field old_default = self.effective_default(old_field) File "/Users/leehinde/Documents/Clients/rnrvirtual/venv-python2.7-django/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/base/schema.py", line 211, in effective_default default = field.get_db_prep_save(default, self.connection) File "/Users/leehinde/Documents/Clients/rnrvirtual/venv-python2.7-django/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/__init__.py", line 710, in get_db_prep_save prepared=False) File "/Users/leehinde/Documents/Clients/rnrvirtual/venv-python2.7-django/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/__init__.py", line 1322, in get_db_prep_value value = self.get_prep_value(value) File "/Users/leehinde/Documents/Clients/rnrvirtual/venv-python2.7-django/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/__init__.py", line 1317, in get_prep_value return self.to_python(value) File "/Users/leehinde/Documents/Clients/rnrvirtual/venv-python2.7-django/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/__init__.py", line 1274, in to_python parsed = parse_date(value) File "/Users/leehinde/Documents/Clients/rnrvirtual/venv-python2.7-django/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/dateparse.py", line 60, in parse_date match = date_re.match(value) TypeError: expected string or buffer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
