I'm trying to evolve a very old database (Beta 0.8) to version 1.5, and running into a problem. When I try the command: rb-site manage / site/www/legacyrb evolve -- --execute I get the message: The stored evolutions do not completely resolve all model changes. Run `./manage.py evolve --hint` to see a suggestion for the changes required. The following are the changes that could not be resolved: In model reviews.DefaultReviewer: Field 'repository' has been added In model reviews.ReviewRequest: Field 'changedescs' has been added Field 'shipit_count' has been added Field 'last_review_timestamp' has been added In field 'repository': Property 'null' has changed ... In model diffviewer.FileDiff: Field 'status' has been added Field 'parent_diff' has been added Field 'diff' has been added Field 'diff_base64' has been deleted In field 'source_file': Property 'max_length' has changed In field 'dest_file': Property 'max_length' has changed
Question 1: Ummm...why couldn't those changes be resolved? Will they be resolved with a syncdb? So I follow the command's advice, and execute "evolve --hint", which tells me (among other things): #----- Evolution for diffviewer from django_evolution.mutations import * from django.db import models MUTATIONS = [ AddField('DiffSet', 'basedir', models.CharField, initial=u'', max_length=256), AddField('FileDiff', 'status', models.CharField, initial=<<USER VALUE REQUIRED>>, max_length=1), AddField('FileDiff', 'parent_diff', models.Base64Field, initial='', db_column='parent_diff_base64'), AddField('FileDiff', 'diff', models.Base64Field, initial=<<USER VALUE REQUIRED>>, db_column='diff_base64'), So I figure, "Okay, we have the hints--we just need to execute them." So I ran: # rb-site manage /infrastructure/www/legacyrb evolve -- --hint -- execute Cannot use hinted evolution: AddField or ChangeField mutation for 'FileDiff.status' in 'diffviewer' requires user-specified initial value. So, questions: 2) How can I specify an appropriate user value? 3) The evolution file for filediff.status, where a USER VALUE REQUIRED says: MUTATIONS = [ AddField('FileDiff', 'status', models.CharField, initial='M', max_length=1) ] Looks to me like an initial value is there, and it's an 'M'. What's the problem? 4) Can I use evolution in this case, or do I need to resort to just making the required changes at the SQL level? If so, how are the 'db_column' parameters handled?
