SQLite3 Integrity Error When Running “createsuperuser”

I am trying to extend the default Django User model by linking to it through a OneToOneField.

I successfully migrated the changes and registered my Profile model inside admin.py, however, when I try to run the command python manage.py createsuperuser and fill in the information I get an Integrity Error.

django.db.utils.IntegrityError: NOT NULL constraint failed: accounts_profile.date_of_birth

I know what the issue is. I have a field called date_of_birth which is required, and I can’t leave it blank, that raises the exception.

I want a simple solution, but couldn’t think of one, and I don’t want to add a bunch of blank=True snippets to all of my required fields.

Here’s my code.

• models.py

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db import models


class Language(models.Model):
    # - [ CHOICES ] - #
    name = models.CharField(max_length=20)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name


class Skill(models.Model):
    # - [ CHOICES ] - #
    name = models.CharField(max_length=20)

    # - [ METHODS ] - #
    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

    is_email_verified = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_subscribed_to_newsletter = models.BooleanField(default=True)
    is_vaccinated = models.BooleanField(default=False)

• signals.py

from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.dispatch import receiver

from .models import Profile


@receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    if created:
        Profile.objects.create(user=instance)


@receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def save_user_profile(sender, instance, **kwargs):
    instance.profile.save()

Answer

I have solved this by providing a default value for the date_of_birth field.
