Django Scripts Tracker
An unofficial Django utility tool that tracks management scripts execution.
What does it mean "to track script execution"?
Scripts tracker watches manage.py scripts located in your_app/management/commands
directory and just after you pull
some new code and apply its migrations - you will get notified about new (or modified) manage.py scripts that should
be applied for the project to work properly.

Quick feature preview
Step 1 - decorate your management script handle() method with @tracked_script
decorator and push it to repository:
class Command(BaseCommand): help = 'Some sample script help text' @tracked_script def handle(self, *args, **options): # (...)
Step 2 - anyone who pulls your changes and runs migrations, will get a notification message:
$ python manage.py migrate (...) Running migrations: (...) Checking management scripts: You have 1 new and 0 modified management scripts to be applied. New scripts (1): your_app/management/commands/sample_management_script.py Some sample script help text

Usage
How to add a new tracked script?
- Create a new management script under a tracked
(...)/management/commands/
directory (tracked directories are defined inCOMMANDS_DIRS
). - Decorate either
handle()
orhandle_noargs()
Command method with a@tracked_script
decorator. - Make sure that the created script file is not ingored and is within a tracked directory.
How to check if there are unapplied scripts?
Script checking process takes place every time you perform DB migrations, but you can also invoke it manually:
python manage.py check_scripts
How to mark scripts as "applied" ones?
Scripts are automatically marked as applied ones just after their execution.
If there are some scripts that have already been applied but the tracker lists them - it is possible to mark them manually as applied ones.
To mark scripts as "applied" ones type in the following command:
python manage.py check_scripts --mark-all-applied
