Comment (by Adam (Chainz) Johnson):
Hi @nanliu
I believe the test for this should be in `test_autodetector.py`. The tests
there don't create whole migrations. They make assertions on the output
operations.
Check out the test I wrote for a similar ticket in
https://github.com/django/django/pull/12313/files#diff-
c11e6432df7086eda3dfb9ab8e5b2839 , and those around that. They set up the
before and after model states, ask the autodetector to find the operations
through `get_changes()`, then make assertions on the operations.
The "before" model states describe the state of the models before the
change, which would be pulled from the migration history - in this case
where just `Readable` exists. The "after" states describe the state the
current model state, which would be pulled from the apps' model definitios
- in this case, `Readable` with no fields and `Book` with the `title`
field.
When writing a test, please try use the predefined model states to reduce
memory usage.
Hope that helps you write a test. Once there's a failing test it should be
easier to try find the fix.
