I just added a second database to our project and was questioning my sanity when I kept getting the exception below in the remote github action tests only (not locally). I eventually noticed that I was doing the migrations in the reverse order locally. Once I noticed that, I was able to both reproduce the error locally and avoid the error in the github action.
There are the commands whose order matters: Works: python manage.py migrate python manage.py migrate --database=validation Results int eh exception: python manage.py migrate --database=validation python manage.py migrate I do not understand why the order matters, but my guess is that there is some code that runs in the migrate command that ignores the --database setting when creating relations. Is this true? Or is there a reasonable reason why it MUST be done in the order `default` then `non-default`? Here is what I have in settings.py: ``` DATABASES = { "default": { "ENGINE": "django.db.backends.postgresql", "NAME": env("DATABASE_NAME"), "USER": env("DATABASE_USER"), "PASSWORD": env("DATABASE_PASSWORD"), "HOST": env("DATABASE_HOST"), "PORT": env("DATABASE_PORT"), } } VALIDATION_ENABLED = False # If the validation database is configured in the .env file... if env("VALIDATION_DATABASE_NAME"): try: DATABASES["validation"] = { "ENGINE": "django.db.backends.postgresql", "NAME": env("VALIDATION_DATABASE_NAME"), "USER": env("VALIDATION_DATABASE_USER"), "PASSWORD": env("VALIDATION_DATABASE_PASSWORD"), "HOST": env("VALIDATION_DATABASE_HOST"), "PORT": env("VALIDATION_DATABASE_PORT"), } VALIDATION_ENABLED = True except Exception as e: print( f"Could not configure access to the {env('VALIDATION_DATABASE_NAME')} database: {e}" ) ``` The exception I get is below. So have I found a bug or is there something for me to learn here? Thanks, Rob The exception: Running migrations: Applying DataRepo.0001_initial...
