and i used user in models :

from django.contrib.auth.models import User as djangoUser
class BlogPost(models.Model):
    author = models.ForeignKey(djangoUser, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='blog_posts', verbose_name=_('Author'))

migration now is 0013

when i use backward migrate like this :

migrate Blog 0011

error happend :

ValueError: The field Blog.BlogPost.author was declared with a lazy reference to 'auth.user', but app 'auth' isn't installed.

also i do not have AUTH_USER_MODEL in settings.py

also i can not remove data base because have so many data on it.

what is problem??

using django2.2 python3.7 postgresql

migrate django python

the problem was in migrations dependencies

no where imported auth

so i add below code in some of the first Blog migrations and error solved

Blog/migrations/0003....py # file name

dependencies = [
    migrations.swappable_dependency(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL),
    ...
]

actually if you see this error on other your_app just add some of migrations of your_app to dependencies like as below:

dependencies = [
        ('accounts', '0012_auto_20200730_1818'),
        ...
    ]
