Flask-migrate does not detect models

Question

I read (and look) about Flask-Migrate here: https://realpython.com/blog/python/flask-by-example-part-2-postgres-sqlalchemy-and-alembic/ and here https: // www. youtube.com/watch?v=YJibNSI-iaE#t=21

and do all of this lesson:

• I started the local postgres server (using Postgres.App, which started the server in postgresql: // localhost: 5432)
• updated configurations according to the specified tutorial
• updated app.py, created models.py, etc.

After installing Flask-Migrate and running

python manage.py db init python manage.py db migrate 

it should detect all tables declared in models.py.

In my case, it does not detect anything. And, based on the comments on the textbook, this is not just my business. So how do I do this job?

Answer 1

Make sure your model is imported by your application. In most cases, your views.py should do this. But you can also import it directly from app.py
