Re: django model(s) silently fails to sync to the DB ( for no apparent reason )
Looks like I found the problem.
I am using the pattern:
I am using a pattern with multiple model files for a single app
my dir structure is:
>my_app
> models
- __init__.py
- model_file1.py
- model_file2.py
and in my __init__.py I've got code to pull all the models together into
one module: app.models
from __future__ import absolute_import
from .model_file1 import model1a,model1b,model1c
from .model_file2 import model2a,model2b,model2c
This pattern is a nice way of putting models into different files when you
have a lot of models,
but it also requires you to specify that the models in the different files
all belong to the one app
by setting a Meta variable:
class Meta:
app_label = 'my_app'
I had done this on my previous models when I split the models into separate
files
but then added some new models and forgot about that requirement.
Django said the models weren't installed since it didn't know to add them
to the right app.

Re: django model(s) silently fails to sync to the DB ( for no apparent reason )
I just rtfc, and it might have been a copy-paste mistake, but the
'str_value' field in your 'DirEnumVal' class has unmatched quotation marks
for the default attribute.

Re: django model(s) silently fails to sync to the DB ( for no apparent reason )
There's a chance that running 'manage.py sqlall' might show errors that
syncdb can't display before failing. 'manage.py sqlall' validates the SQL
without trying to commit it, so to save time in the future, you should
really run it before syncdb every time.
If not, and the app is installed, check import statements, then model field
constraints, like trying to assign numbers to 'null' fields or violating
'unique' constraints.
Since the db sync is failing on transaction commit, it sounds more like the
latter than the former, though. Good luck.

Hey Doug,
Any chance you haven't included those models in the INSTALLED_APPS in your
settings.py file?
Best,

django model(s) silently fails to sync to the DB ( for no apparent reason )
I don't think I'm making a rookie mistake, I've looked over my code several
times.
I've got two pretty simple django models that are just failing to sync to
the db
during the syncdb there are no errors, even with --verbosity 3
When I try to make a relation to them I get an error saying the models
either don't exist or a re abstract
In fact when I examine the DB, they are not there.
syncdb is attempting to sync models before and after these 2 models in the
same file.
I've dropped my DB and started from scratch several times
I don't know how to debug this issue because I don't know how syncdb works
under the covers and what can go wrong.
Here are my models, they look pretty simple to me:
class DirEnumVal(models.Model):
str_val = models.CharField(max_length=64, default='')
def unicode(self):
return self.str_val
class DirAttr(models.Model):
BOOL = 'BOOL'
MONO = 'MONO'
SCAL = 'SCAL'
ENUM = 'ENUM'
TYPES = (
(BOOL,'Boolean'),
(MONO,'Monomial'),
(SCAL,'Scalar'),
(ENUM,'Enumeration'),
)
val_type = models.CharField(max_length=4, choices=TYPES)
val_key = models.CharField(max_length=32)
default_bool = models.BooleanField(default=True)
default_num = models.IntegerField(default = 0)
default_float = models.FloatField(default=1.0)
enum_choices = models.ManyToManyField(DirEnumVal, null=True, blank=True)
default_choice = models.CharField(max_length=64, default='')
required = models.BooleanField(default=True)
def unicode(self):
return '{k} :=> {t} ( default = {d} )'.format(
k=self.val_key, t=self.val_type, d=self.default())
I am using a pattern with multiple model files for a single app
my dir structure is:
>app
> models
- __init__.py
- model_file1.py
- model_file2.py
and in my __init__.py I've got code to pull all the models together into
one module: app.models
from __future__ import absolute_import
from .model_file1 import model1a,model1b,model1c
from .model_file2 import model2a,model2b,model2c
This way of importing the models has been working long before this trouble
of models not being synched came up.
When I access the django project and settings through a python shell I can
import the models and instatiate them
but when I save them, PostGres gives me this error:
DatabaseError: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of
transaction block
This problem surfaced after I installed django-categories and set up some
category models.
I had some trouble at first setting that up but I've got the BaseCategory
subclasses behaving nicely now
and have started with a fresh DB.
At some point when I was getting django categories to work there was an error
when I synched the DB
that said something about an unexcepted special character being somewhere in my
code or the django-categories code.
That seemed suspicious but that doesn't show up anymore and I'm using a fresh
DB.
Does anybody see anything obvious or know what type of problems can cause
syncdb to ignore models?
I'm running out of ideas about what is wrong
I'm on Django 1.5 using PostGreSQL & MacOS Lion
Best Doug
