I followed the following documentation https://docs.digitalocean.com/tutorials/app-deploy-django-app/
My app has deployed fine however when I push changes that require me to run python manage.py makemigrations and python manage.py migrate I see the following…
after makemigrations i see the changes migrations being made
but when I run migrations it says there are no migrations…
Basically the posgres database does not update and I have to delete the database after every migration…

Hello,
Do you have an additional App component for running your Django migration?
You could add the following to your app yaml file:
jobs:
- name: migrate
kind: PRE_DEPLOY
github:
repo: digitalocean/sample-django
branch: static
deploy_on_push: true
run_command: python manage.py migrate
envs:
- key: DISABLE_COLLECTSTATIC
value: "1"
scope: BUILD_TIME
- key: DATABASE_URL
value: "${db.DATABASE_URL}"
scope: RUN_TIME
For a reference, here is an example yaml file that contains all of the required components:
https://github.com/digitalocean/sample-django/blob/static/.do/app.yaml
Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
