Question

When I’m trying to login by OpenID with social_auth, I get an error:
Table ‘django_db.social_auth_association’ doesn’t exist.

I had to call syncdb, but it didn’t create any table for social_auth.

Why syncdb doesn’t use social_auth’s models?

Here is my log:

Answer 1

I found a solution after a little research.

Problem was with fork, which I used. When I tried clean example from them, I get the same error, that table social_auth_association doesn’t exist.

Then I tried to use original repository. And when I ran syncdb, I got:

Creating table social_auth_usersocialauth
Creating table social_auth_nonce
Creating table social_auth_association

So, the required table appeared. After that I compared sources from repositories and found lines, which affects the search for models:

import types
..
globals().update((name, value) for name, value in
    ((name, getattr(SOCIAL_AUTH_MODELS_MODULE, name))
        for name in dir(SOCIAL_AUTH_MODELS_MODULE))
            if isinstance(value, (type, types.ClassType)))

instead of

globals().update((name, getattr(SOCIAL_AUTH_MODELS_MODULE, name))
    for name in dir(SOCIAL_AUTH_MODELS_MODULE))

in social_auth/models.py.

In other words I replaced models.py from fork to models.py from original repository and ran syncdb.
