Unapplied migrations

[Azmodeszer]

I've recently updated to 3.6.0 and I noticed this red text:

Your models in app(s): 'circuits', 'core', 'dcim', 'extras', 'ipam', 'tenancy', 'users', 'virtualization', 'wireless' have changes that are not yet reflected in a migration, and so won't be applied.
  Run 'manage.py makemigrations' to make new migrations, and then re-run 'manage.py migrate' to apply them.

However, when I run manage.py showmigrations --list, everything shows as applied. And indeed, when I follow the instructions in the red text, it says "No changes detected" and "No migrations to apply." (I'm running this on a test machine, not the live server, no worries).

Can I just ignore the message? Everything appears to be working anyway.

What version did you upgrade from?

[Azmodeszer]

3.5.9

[candlerb]

Have you ever upgraded from a beta version?

At what exact point did you see the red text? Was it when running ./upgrade.sh, or at some other point?

I didn't see this when migrating from 3.5.9 to 3.6.0. Here is my ./upgrade.sh output:

The only differences I can see are that I'm on python 3.8, and I don't have the netbox-ipcalculator plugin. I do use netbox-topology-views, but that gave an exception until I removed it from PLUGINS: see here.

The error seems to come from django/core/management/commands/migrate.py where MigrationAutodetector detects that migrations are required.

Sorry I can't help any more than that.

[peteeckel]

I can reproduce the issue:

  Your models in app(s): 'circuits', 'core', 'dcim', 'extras', 'ipam', 'tenancy', 'users', 'virtualization', 'wireless' have changes that are not yet reflected in a migration, and so won't be applied.
  Run 'manage.py makemigrations' to make new migrations, and then re-run 'manage.py migrate' to apply them.

You're diving into deep Django internals after that as to why one of these thinks changes are required, and the other doesn't.

I can reproduce it with a fresh install of NetBox. Seems to be a Django issue, though I can't find any related issue in their bug tracker.

This is probably related to some model attributes that we intentionally suppress when generating migrations. For example, we ignore help_text on fields because it has no impact on the resulting database schema. However, these are being suppressed within the individual makemigrations and migrate commands. I suspect something has changed in Django 4.2 that is triggering this warning deeper inside Django.

I just checked and this continues to happen with Django 4.1 as well. It's likely tied to changes relating to translation support, but I can't recall noticing this warning before, so I'm not sure exactly what's changed.

I am definitely getting this and running makemigrations actually gives nothing, so not sure where it is coming from. I suspect you are right about the translation support though.

[jeremystretch]

I believe I've identified the cause of this: I believe it's because we're overriding certain model meta options in makemigrations but not migrate. I've opened bug #13642 to track it.
