Accessing models from other apps
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When writing a ``RunPython`` function that uses models from apps other than the
|
||||||
|
one in which the migration is located, the migration's ``dependencies``
|
||||||
|
attribute should include the latest migration of each app that is involved,
|
||||||
|
otherwise you may get an error similar to: ``LookupError: No installed app
|
||||||
|
with label 'myappname'`` when you try to retrieve the model in the ``RunPython``
|
||||||
|
function using ``apps.get_model()``.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the following example, we have a migration in ``app1`` which needs to use
|
||||||
|
models in ``app2``. We aren't concerned with the details of ``move_m1`` other
|
||||||
|
than the fact it will need to access models from both apps. Therefore we've
|
||||||
|
added a dependency that specifies the last migration of ``app2``::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
class Migration(migrations.Migration):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
dependencies = [
|
||||||
|
('app1', '0001_initial'),
|
||||||
|
# added dependency to enable using models from app2 in move_m1
|
||||||
|
('app2', '0004_foobar'),
|
||||||
|
]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
operations = [
|
||||||
|
migrations.RunPython(move_m1),
|
||||||
|
]
