Django South is not creating a table for user_profiles
django, django-south, python
Solution
I had this exact same problem. Turns out that there is a circular dependency of sorts when using South. To get around this problem, don't create a superuser when you run syncdb, but instead run:
python manage.py createsuperuser
after you have created the database with syncdb. At this point, your profile table will have been created, and the post_save signal will succeed.
Problem
I wanted to reset my Django project's database, so I did the following steps: - Deleted my SQLite database - Did `python manage.py syncdb` - Did `python manage.py migrate users --fake` After I create a new account and login, I get the following error message: ``` no such table: users_userprofile ``` Here is what my users model.py looks like: ``` class UserProfile(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User) joined_goals = models.ManyToManyField(Goal, related_name="joined_goals") followingGoals = models.ManyToManyField(Goal, related_name="following_goals") def __unicode__(self): return self.user.username def get_goals(self): try: goals = Goal.objects.filter(user=self.user) return goals except Goal.DoesNotExist: return [] def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs): if created: userProfile = UserProfile.objects.create(user=instance) post_save.connect(create_user_profile, sender=User) ``` So, there is a UserProfile class, but South did not seem to make the table to hold the user profiles. When I do `python manage.py schemamigration users --auto`, it says that nothing has seemed to changed. How do I get it to create the userprofiles table?
