I develop a web-app using Flask under Python3. I have a problem with postgresql enum type on db migrate/upgrade.
I added a column "status" to model:
class Banner(db.Model):
...
status = db.Column(db.Enum('active', 'inactive', 'archive', name='banner_status'))
...
Generated migration by python manage.py db migrate
is:
from alembic import op
import sqlalchemy as sa
def upgrade():
op.add_column('banner', sa.Column('status', sa.Enum('active', 'inactive', 'archive', name='banner_status'), nullable=True))
def downgrade():
op.drop_column('banner', 'status')
And when I do python manage.py db upgrade
I get an error:
...
sqlalchemy.exc.ProgrammingError: (psycopg2.ProgrammingError) type "banner_status" does not exist
LINE 1: ALTER TABLE banner ADD COLUMN status banner_status
[SQL: 'ALTER TABLE banner ADD COLUMN status banner_status']
Why migration does not create a type "banner_status"?
What am I doing wrong?
$ pip freeze
alembic==0.8.6
Flask==0.10.1
Flask-Fixtures==0.3.3
Flask-Login==0.3.2
Flask-Migrate==1.8.0
Flask-Script==2.0.5
Flask-SQLAlchemy==2.1
itsdangerous==0.24
Jinja2==2.8
Mako==1.0.4
MarkupSafe==0.23
psycopg2==2.6.1
python-editor==1.0
requests==2.10.0
SQLAlchemy==1.0.13
Werkzeug==0.11.9
I decided this problem using that.
I changed code of migration and migration is look like this:
from alembic import op
import sqlalchemy as sa
from sqlalchemy.dialects import postgresql
def upgrade():
banner_status = postgresql.ENUM('active', 'inactive', 'archive', name='banner_status')
banner_status.create(op.get_bind())
op.add_column('banner', sa.Column('status', sa.Enum('active', 'inactive', 'archive', name='banner_status'), nullable=True))
def downgrade():
op.drop_column('banner', 'status')
banner_status = postgresql.ENUM('active', 'inactive', 'archive', name='banner_status')
banner_status.drop(op.get_bind())
And now python manage.py db upgrade\downgrade
is succesfully executed.
