Re: Django 1.7 migrations: Adding one field to User`s model

This might be related to the difficulties of migrating an existing project to a custom user model. I'm not sure the steps to workaround the problem. We have an open ticket to recommend starting off a project with a custom user model to avoid this problem [1]. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hi,

I would like to add one field to User.

I've created new model based on original Django`s user:

 class User(AbstractUser):

    is_verified = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    class Meta:

        db_table = 'auth_user'

Now I'm trying to make migrations, but Django tries to create `auth_user` table from scratch, and this is not what I'm expecting.

I've tried to migrate schema by adding one field:

[...] 

     operations = [

        migrations.AddField('User', 'is_verified', models.BooleanField(default=False)),

    ]

But during migrations Django dies at:

[...]

  File "eggs/Django-1.7.8-py2.7.egg/django/db/migrations/migration.py", line 76, in mutate_state

    operation.state_forwards(self.app_label, new_state)

  File "eggs/Django-1.7.8-py2.7.egg/django/db/migrations/operations/fields.py", line 26, in state_forwards

    state.models[app_label, self.model_name.lower()].fields.append((self.name, field))

KeyError: ('myapp', u'user')

I need to add just one column using builtin migrations. 

How to do that?

This is bug or feature?

BR,

Marcin
