[Django]-Django "You have unapplied migrations". Which ones?

95👍

If you’re on 1.7, use python manage.py migrate --list. (docs)

If you’re on 1.8 or above, use python manage.py showmigrations --list. (docs)

In either case, there will be an [X] to show which migrations have been applied.

A minor modification on Kevin’s answer using grep, to only show unapplied migrations:

Django 1.7:

python manage.py migrate --list | grep -v '\[X\]'

Django 1.8 and above:

python manage.py showmigrations --list | grep -v '\[X\]'

Edited after ngoue’s comment. Nice catch. Thanks for pointing it out.

You can see a list of just the unapplied migrations with the --plan option of the migrate command:

python manage.py migrate --plan

It was introduced in Django 2.2 and is documented here.

after using this command :

python manage.py migrate

you get the same error: You have un-applied migrations;

simple way to solve this error is to
go to your project directory search for your database directory that is created after command

python manage.py migrate

in my case db created was db.sqlite3
just delete that file and go to your terminal
and use manage.py makemigrations followed by manage.py migrate .

this worked for me . All the best

Once you run the migration command (python manage.py migrate) its always generates an auto_migration.py file in that specific app.

Also the same file you will be able to see it in your database. If that file is missing in your DB then your project will complain about “un-applied migrations”.

So just go to your db and manually create an entry for auto_migration.py.
