Checks

This is the list of checks currently implemented by this plugin.

DM001

RemoveField operation should be wrapped in SeparateDatabaseAndState.

Such an operation should be run in two separate steps, using SeparateDatabaseAndState, otherwise it is not backwards compatible.

• Step 1: remove the field from the model and code. For foreign key fields, the foreign key constraint should also be dropped.
• Step 2: remove the column from the database.

Bad

class Migration(migrations.Migration):
    operations = [
        migrations.RemoveField(
            model_name="order",
            name="total",
        ),
    ]

Good

class Migration(migrations.Migration):
    operations = [
        migrations.SeparateDatabaseAndState(
            state_operations=[
                migrations.RemoveField(
                    model_name="order",
                    name="total",
                ),
            ],
        ),
    ]
