Answer 1

Ran into a similar situation whereby there's

django.db.utils.OperationalError: (1824, "Failed to open the referenced table 'auth_user'")

at first, which I resolved by making sure I have all the migrations done properly, every app has its corresponding migrations folder and also __init__.py file within it.

After which I had the similar issue with another table in the database that raised another error and that's preventing me from starting the test. I solved it by removing all the records in django_migrations table, deleting all the migration files (if you are ok with it). Then I run

python manage.py makemigrations

python manage.py migrate --fake

All the nonsense of the migrations dealt with :)
