Issues':'

(a)

Runing migrations

Error =>

django.db.migrations.exceptions.InconsistentMigrationHistory: Migration admin.0001_initial is applied before its dependency account.0001_initial on database 'default'.

Reason =>

This happened after addition of a custom User model, per the recommendation in the django docs.

Soln =>

1. Delete the database db.sqlite3

2. Delete the app/migrations folder

3. temporarily comment out django.contrib.admin.

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
   ...
   #‘django.contrib.admin’,
   ...
   ]

   Also comment out the admin site in urls.py:

   urlpatterns = [
       path('profile/', include('restapp.urls')),
       #path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
   ]

4. Now go ahead and run:

   py manage.py makemigrations 

   then

   py manage.py migrate

5. Now U can uncomment all of the above

(b)

creating superuser or running server

Error =>

django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such table: service_user

Reason =>

Who cares....

Soln =>

run

py manage.py migrate --run-syncdb

ISSUES:

a)

Got a HEAD detached from KenyaDelivers/main error that slowed the pushing process.

Solution

After commit do the following:

1. create a new branch (temporary) - git branch temporary_branch
2. checkout of the current branch you're working on - git checkout master
3. merge the temporary branch - git merge temporary_branch
