Getting TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: ‘on_delete’ when trying to add parent table after child table with entries

  • 4

I have two classes in my sqlite database, a parent table named Categorie and the child table called Article. I created first the child table class and addes entries. So first I had this:

class Article(models.Model):
    titre=models.CharField(max_length=100)
    auteur=models.CharField(max_length=42)
    contenu=models.TextField(null=True)
    date=models.DateTimeField(
        auto_now_add=True,
        auto_now=False,
        verbose_name="Date de parution"
    )

    def __str__(self):
        return self.titre

And after I have added parent table, and now my models.py looks like this:

from django.db import models

# Create your models here.
class Categorie(models.Model):
    nom = models.CharField(max_length=30)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.nom


class Article(models.Model):
    titre=models.CharField(max_length=100)
    auteur=models.CharField(max_length=42)
    contenu=models.TextField(null=True)
    date=models.DateTimeField(
        auto_now_add=True,
        auto_now=False,
        verbose_name="Date de parution"
    )
    categorie = models.ForeignKey('Categorie')

    def __str__(self):
        return self.titre

So when I run python manage.py makemigrations <my_app_name>, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    categorie = models.ForeignKey('Categorie')
TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'on_delete'

I’ve seen some similar issues in stackoverflow, but it seems to not be the same problem: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: ‘quantity’

      You can change the property categorie of the class Article like this:

      categorie = models.ForeignKey(
          'Categorie',
          on_delete=models.CASCADE,
      )
      

      and the error should disappear.

      Eventually you might need another option for on_delete, check the documentation for more details:

      https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.ForeignKey

      EDIT:

      As you stated in your comment, that you don’t have any special requirements for on_delete, you could use the option DO_NOTHING:

      # ...
      on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING,
      # ...
