`no such table: main.catalogue_product__old` when creating a new product

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I’ve ran into a really strange error which I’m not able to debug. On a fresh django-oscar installation (tested with 1.6.4 and 2.0-dev) I’m getting this when I add new product via the dashboard:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/utils.py", line 85, in _execute
    return self.cursor.execute(sql, params)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/sqlite3/base.py", line 296, in execute
    return Database.Cursor.execute(self, query, params)
sqlite3.OperationalError: no such table: main.catalogue_product__old

I guess there is some bug in the migrations? I looked into this quite some time and couldn’t find the problem.

I prepared a minimal example:

minimalexample.zip

In the extracted folder, run the following commands to init the project and get the same error:

# I tried both the system's pip and virtual envs
pip install django-oscar
python manage.py migrate
# sets up superuser "admin" (admin@admin.de) with password "admin"
python manage.py loaddata data/auth.json
# this triggers the error
python manage.py loaddata data/catalogue.json

This bug also appears when creating a new product via the dashboard in both oscar 2.0 and 1.6.4… Any ideas?

I did this in pycharm and it did work:

pip install Django --upgrade

Then

python manage.py migrate python manage.py makemigrations ‘app_name’ python manage.py migrate

Man I could KISS you! I have spent 14 hours trying to debug this problem with another Django app because after 3 days of writing the web server crashes when trying to write to the database. This crash caused over one hundred exceptions to be thrown and I didn’t even know where on earth to start.

You are an absolute saint! This fixed my problem one hundred percent and I don’t have a single error now. Oh my days! There is a god!
