How can I run a postgres command after database initialisation with Django












0















I'm trying to run some tests for a Django project and to do this Django creates a new database specific for running the tests.



In my case the main database is named 'kim' and Django creates a database 'test_kim' to run the tests on.



Since I have a CICharField in one of my models, I have to run this command after the database is created and before Django migrations run.



psql =# c db_1
CREATE EXTENSION citext;


Now I'm wondering how I can run this command for the test database?

  • Adding a custom migration can be an option, i guess for this case.

You should create a migration that handles creating the extension for you. Here are the docs on it.



You would do:



python manage.py makemigrations <APP_NAME> --empty


Then in that migration import:



from django.contrib.postgres.operations import CITextExtension


and add CITextExtension() it to the migrations list. This migration should be a dependency of the migration that created the CITextField field.
