The basic tutorial does not work.

[nherriot]

The tutorial on this page:

https://github.com/bernardopires/django-tenant-schemas/blob/master/docs/examples.rst

Does not work at all. Here are just some of the things that are not mentioned that should be to have something that 'just works' and is easy to learn from. The file does not mention you need to:

1. Change middle-ware from "tenant_tutorial.middleware.TenantTutorialMiddleware" -to- ""tenant_schemas.middleware.TenantMiddleware".
2. Change allowed hosts from ALLOWED_HOSTS = ["localhost", ".trendy-sass.com"] -to-ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']
3. Actually run pip install for django-tenant-schemas. It could be that the user would expect this to be explained in the tutorial.
4. Provide a simple requirements.txt file???
5. Change the DB engine to: 'tenant_schemas.postgresql_backend'
6. Run python manage.py migrate_schemas ? Should we do that? Not sure - as i get the errors below in trying to get this working:

If you run migrate you get this:

python manage.py migrate
CommandError: migrate has been disabled, for database 'default'. Use migrate_schemas instead. Please read the documentation if you don't know why you shouldn't call migrate directly!

If you run migrate_schemas you get this:

python manage.py migrate_schemas

If you actually run the server you get

python manage.py runserver
Watching for file changes with StatReloader
Performing system checks...

System check identified no issues (0 silenced).

You have 16 unapplied migration(s). Your project may not work properly until you apply the migrations for app(s): auth, contenttypes, customers, sessions.
Run 'python manage.py migrate' to apply them.

Django version 3.1.2, using settings 'tenant_tutorial.settings'
Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

Notice it tells me that I need to run a migration - but I'm unable to do that!

I gave up with this package at this point...

I am also seeing this argparse.ArgumentError when trying to upgrade a project from Django 3.0.8 to Django 3.1.2.

You need to add
requires_system_checks = []
to the class Command(SyncCommon) at migrate_schemas.py
