How do I get syncdb db_table and app_label to play nicely together
- by Chris Heisel
I've got a model that looks something like this:
class HeiselFoo(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=250)
class Meta:
""" Meta """
app_label = "Foos"
db_table = u"medley_heiselfoo_heiselfoo"
And whenever I run my test suite, I get an error because Django isn't creating the tables for that model.
It appears to be an interaction between app_label and db_table -- as the test suite runs normally if db_table is set, but app_label isn't.
Here's a link to the full source code: http://github.com/cmheisel/heiselfoo
Here's the traceback from the test suite:
