Question
Asked By – Irmantas Želionis
I know that from Django 1.7 I don’t need to use South or any other migration system, so I am just using simple command python manage.py makemigrations
However, all I get is this error:
You are trying to add a non-nullable field 'new_field' to userprofile without a default;
we can't do that (the database needs something to populate existing rows).
Here is models.py:
class UserProfile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User)
website = models.URLField(blank=True)
new_field = models.CharField(max_length=140)
What are options?
Now we will see solution for issue: You are trying to add a non-nullable field ‘new_field’ to userprofile without a default
Answer
You need to provide a default value:
new_field = models.CharField(max_length=140, default='SOME STRING')
