Django migration linter
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Detect backward incompatible migrations for your django project. It will save you time by making sure migrations will not break anything.

Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
3YOURMIND is running the linter on every build getting pushed through CI.
|
|
Checkout the ``examples/`` folder to see how you could integrate the linter in your test suite.
|
|
|
|
Backward incompatible migrations
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The linter analyses your migrations and checks the SQL for:
|
|
|
|
- Added ``NOT NULL`` columns, which don't have a DEFAULT value
|
|
- Dropping columns
|
|
- Renaming columns
|
|
- Renaming tables
|
|
- Altering columns (which can be backward compatible and eventually ignored)
|
|
|
|
Those are the most important and frequent backward incompatible migrations. We are happy to add more if you have some.
|
|
|
|
Ignoring migrations
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
You can also ignore migrations by adding this to your migrations:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
import django_migration_linter as linter
|
|
# ...
|
|
|
|
operations = [
|
|
linter.IgnoreMigration(),
|
|
# ...
|
|
]
|
|
# ...
|
|
|
|
Cache
|
|
-----
|
|
By default, the linter uses a cache to prevent linting the same migration again.
|
|
The default location of the cache on Linux is
|
|
``/home/<username>/.cache/django-migration-linter/<version>/<ldjango-project>.pickle``.
|
|
|
|
Since the linter uses hashes, modifying migration files, will re-run the linter on that migration.
|
|
If you want to run the linter without cache, use the flag ``--no-cache``.
|
|
If you want to invalidate the cache, delete the cache folder.
|
|
|
|
Tests
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to run the tests is to invoke `tox`_.
