How to auto create Groups in Django 1.11.2

Question

I try follow this tutorial "Programmatically creating a group : Can't access permissions from migration", and my code is:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from __future__ import unicode_literals

from django.db import migrations, models
from django.contrib.auth.models import Group, Permission
from django.contrib.auth.management import create_permissions


def add_group_permissions(apps, schema_editor):
    for app_config in apps.get_app_configs():
        create_permissions(app_config, apps=apps, verbosity=0)

    # Criando Administrador
    group, created = Group.objects.get_or_create(name='Administrador')
    if created:
        add_thing = Permission.objects.get(
                         codename=['can_add_permision',
                                             'can_change_permission',
                                             'can_add_user',
                                             'can_change_user',
                                             'can_add_video',
                                             'can_change_video',
                                             'can_delete_video',
                                             'can_add_documents',
                                             'can_change_documents',
                                             'can_delete_documents',
                                             'can_add_news',
                                             'can_change_news',
                                             'can_delete_news',
                                             'can_add_basics',
                                             'can_change_basics',
                                             'can_add_board',
                                             'can_change_board',
                                             'can_delete_board',
                                             'can_add_history',
                                             'can_change_history',
                                             'can_delete_history',
                                             'can_add_shortcuts',
                                             'can_change_shortcuts',
                                             'can_delete_shortcuts',]
        )
        group.permissions.add(add_thing)
        group.save()
        logger.info('Grupo Administrador Criado')

class Migration(migrations.Migration):

    dependencies = [
    ]

    operations = [
        migrations.RunPython(add_group_permissions),
    ]

And my error is:

self.model._meta.object_name django.contrib.auth.models.DoesNotExist: Permission matching query does not exist.

Is it probably that problem is releated with dependencies? Or how I do?

[UPDATE 1]

After tips of @Trilliput the group was create empty.

[UPDATE 2]

I removed prefix can_, after used a tips of @Trilliput, using shell python manage.py shell

from django.contrib.auth.models import Permission
permissions_qs = Permission.objects.filter(codename__in=['add_permission', 'change_permission', 'add_user', 'change_user', 'add_video', 'change_video', 'delete_video', 'add_documents', 'change_documents', 'delete_documents', 'add_news', 'change_news', 'delete_news', 'add_basics', 'change_basics', 'add_board', 'change_board', 'delete_board', 'add_history', 'change_history', 'delete_history', 'add_shortcuts', 'change_shortcuts', 'delete_shortcuts',])
permissions_qs.count()
>>> 24

And I saved the file 0001.initial.py and run python manage.py migrate but nothing did.

How I forced run again?

[UPDATE 3]

The complete code, and works very well.

                                                     'change_shortcuts',
                                                     'delete_shortcuts',]
        )
        group.permissions = permissions_qs
        group.save()

class Migration(migrations.Migration):

    dependencies = [
        ('cursos', '0001_initial')
    ]

    operations = [
        migrations.RunPython(add_group_permissions),
    ]

After update my code I ran, like a tip @Trilliput:

• manage.py migrate login zero --fake
• remove the group
• manage.py migrate login

Answer 1

I assume, that your new Group must have all the permissions. Your query is wronge:

    add_thing = Permission.objects.get(
                     codename=['can_add_permision',
                               ...
                               'can_delete_shortcuts',]
    )

With objects.get you're requesting one Permission with a codename equals the given list, which is impossible, because codename is a string. You need IN request Permission.objects.filter(codename__in=['can_add_permision', ...]). And instead of group.permissions.add(add_thing) you may want to use group.permissions = qs. But pay attention, that permissions will overwritten. Here is a full code:
