Comment (by raymond.penners@…):
Then the documentation over at
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/customizing/#custom-
users-and-testing-fixtures is very misleading.
The examples suggest that this is the way to test with a customer user
model:
{{{
class ApplicationTestCase(TestCase):
...
@override_settings(AUTH_USER_MODEL='auth.CustomUser')
def test_custom_user(self):
"Run tests for a custom user model with email-based
authentication"
self.assertSomething()
}}}
However, attempting to do so fails (as shown by my example).
