Django Programming error column does not exist even after running migrations

Question

I run python manage.py makemigrations and I get: No changes detected Then, python manage.py migrate and I get: No migrations to apply.

Answer 1

The issue was in the Models for me, for some reason Django was adding '_id' to the end of my Foreign Key column. I had to explicitly set the related named to the Foreign Key. Here 'Cards' is the parent table and 'Prices' is the child table.

class Cards(models.Model):
    unique_id = models.CharField(primary_key=True, max_length=45)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=225)   

class Prices(models.Model):
        unique_id = models.ForeignKey(Cards, models.DO_NOTHING)

Works after changing to:

class Cards(models.Model):
    unique_id = models.CharField(primary_key=True, max_length=45)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=225)   

class Prices(models.Model):
        unique_id = models.ForeignKey(Cards, models.DO_NOTHING, db_column='unique_id')
