Invalid code generated by startmigration --initial

[eallik@…]

I get totally invalid Python code when using startmigration --initial

[eallik@…]

models.py

[anonymous]

generated migration

The problem is the code inspector can't figure out the definition for your Reservation model's end_datetime field. There's a big note in the migration file indicating this on line number 134.

For a quick fix, you can either copy the field definition of end_datetime to the migration.

The real reason this is broken is the way startmigration determines the field definition. If you moved your "make_reservation" function below the field definitions in the Reservation model, everything should work.

Obviously that's not an acceptable answer. It's not an easy problem to solve. We're working on trying to do that, but I wanted to provide you with as workaround until that happens.

This will be delayed until we fix #41 and #47 as well with a new models.py parser.

This should be fixed as of the ORM Freezer checkin (committed in [140] - [143]). Your models.py file does now produce a valid migration here, so closing.

Also remember to use startmigration2 until we rename it.
