import subprocess

from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand
from django.conf import settings


class Command(BaseCommand):
    help = "Deletes migration files, excluding __init__.py, from apps"

    def handle(self, *args, **options):
        base_dir = settings.BASE_DIR
        apps_dir = base_dir / "apps"

        find_command = [
            "find",
            apps_dir,
            "-path",
            "*/migrations/*.py",
            "-not",
            "-name",
            "__init__.py",
            "-delete",
        ]

        try:
            subprocess.run(find_command, check=True)
            self.stdout.write(self.style.SUCCESS("Successfully deleted migration files."))

        except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
            self.stderr.write(self.style.ERROR(f"Error deleting migration files: {e}"))
