Known issues
------------

**Database migrations do not work correctly with MySQL**

Running migrations (step 3 of 'Usage' section) may fail with following error:

.. code-block::

django.db.utils.OperationalError: (1170, "BLOB/TEXT column 'claimed_id' used in key specification without a key length")

This is a `known issue<https://bugs.launchpad.net/django-openid-auth/+bug/524796>`_ of `django-openid-auth<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-openid-auth/>`_ :
Django `does not allow<https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/2495>`_ `TextField` to be unique.

Fix exists but it is not yet merged as of 2016-05-03.

To work around the problem you will have to manually patch the `django-openid-auth` code as follows:

.. code-block:: python

# File: django_openid_auth/migrations/0001_initial.py
- claimed_id = models.TextField(max_length=2047, unique=True)
+ claimed_id = models.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True)

# File: django_openid_auth/migrations/0001_initial.py
- ('claimed_id', models.TextField(unique=True, max_length=2047)),
+ ('claimed_id', models.CharField(unique=True, max_length=255)),

-- and launch the migrations again.
