ProgrammingError when upgrading from Django 1.8 to 1.9 - django

Question

I have project with multiple apps in it. One of the apps has a Contact model and a Supplier model. The Supplier has a OneToOne relation to the Contact model. Everything worked fine in Django 1.8.11. When I attempt to makemigrations or any other command, I get the following error.

Basically, I have a URL file in my Parts app that is importing from parts.views, which is standard Django procedure. The parts.views file is importing from parts.forms, also standard Django procedure. The form that is causing issues is this:
class PartForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Part
fields = ['supplier', 'number', 'name']
widgets = {
'supplier': SelectWithButton(None, Supplier.objects.all(),
"/contacts/create/?next=/parts/create", "Add Supplier")
}
Here's the SelectWithButton class:
from django.forms import Select
from django.template.loader import get_template
class SelectWithButton(Select):
def __init__(self, attrs=None, choices=(), btn_url='', btn_txt=''):
super(SelectWithButton, self).__init__(attrs, choices)
self.btn_url = btn_url
self.btn_txt = btn_txt
def render(self, name, value, attrs=None, choices=()):
context = {'href': self.btn_url, 'text': self.btn_txt,
'select_field': super(SelectWithButton, self).render(name, value, attrs, choices)}
t = get_template("general\selectWithButton.html")
return t.render(context)
The error seems to be that it is trying to get all the objects from Supplier before the migrations have been done. But I'm trying to make the migrations, and I'm getting this error. I did read that Django 1.9 now checks the URL files in the manage.py command, but it seems that I have done nothing out of the ordinary. You can read more here on the 1.9.3 page: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/releases/1.9.3/
When I comment out the reference to SelectWithButton, I get a similar error on another form that has an autocomplete_light.MultipleChoiceField on it. What am I doing wrong? It works fine in Django 1.8.11.
Here is the other error and form:

Answer 1

Your form is causing the Supplier.objects.all() queryset to be evaluated before the supplier table has been created in the database.
You can get around this by setting the widget in the form's __init__ method.
class PartForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Part
fields = ['supplier', 'number', 'name']
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(PartForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['supplier'].widget = SelectWithButton(
None,
Supplier.objects.all(),
"/contacts/create/?next=/parts/create",
"Add Supplier",
)
