Can't import models module

[JosXa]

Hi there,

first of all thank you so much for taking the time and publishing this library, appreciate it a lot since peewee doesn't come with automatic migrations included.

I'm trying to use the cli to migrate my model, but load_models raises an Exception, saying that it can't import the models module (the one at the --auto path).

This is the failing command:
$ pw_migrate create --auto ~/myproject/model/ --database "postgres://zudibytvipthsa:c8c2d7f0blabla" --directory ~/myproject/model/ mymigration

Could it be that peewee_migrate doesn't resolve the database connection URL with playhouse.db_url.connect but expects something else instead? This isn't really clear from the help text.

My model module is structured as follows:

model/
    basemodel.py  <-- containing:
    class BaseModel(Model):
        class Meta:
             database = db

    .. more modules that inherit from BaseModel

I would appreciate getting some hints as to what might be causing this :)

first you could take a look at #16 because of your BaseModel.
i don't really know postgres, but the url should work like explained in the playhouse docs.

i think the command fails because it can't import your module:
pw_migrate create --auto=model.basemodel --database="postgres://zudibytvipthsa:c8c2d7f0blabla" --directory="~/myproject/model/" mymigration
this could work. i think you have to make sure that you can import the models with python like a normal module from your working directory.

You can try adding the following lines to the beginning of the migration file:

import os
import sys
sys.path.append(os.path.dirname("__file__"))
