new value in class Enum rejected by database












1















I have this class in my models.py file:



class DepartmentCategory(Enum):
"""The various categories of departments"""
committee = 'Committee'
subcommittee = 'Subcommittee'


that is used in a selectfield for my form. All works well but when I add a new value to the Enum class eg:



class DepartmentCategory(Enum):
"""The various categories of departments"""
general = 'General'
committee = 'Committee'
subcommittee = 'Subcommittee'


saving the new value the database fails and no errors are shown both in terminal and browser. I had already numerously migrated(flask db migrate) and upgraded(flask db upgrade) my database but problem not solved. Please help.

          Try to install enum34. I found flask_migrate can not detecte changes while i am using enum on Python3-x. Then i saw the comments in this question Defining SQLAlchemy enum column with Python enum raises "ValueError: not a valid enum"




          pip install enum34




          Note: keep using import enum, import enum34 is wrong.
