Comment (by raymond.penners@…):
Sorry for reopening once more, but I would like to file this as a
documentation bug then.
Please see the following lines taken from
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/customizing/#custom-
users-and-testing-fixtures
{{{
[...]
To ensure that your test suite will pass in any project configuration
[...]
tests may also be needed to be added to ensure that the application works
with any user model
[...]
To assist with this, Django provides two substitute user models that can
be used in test suites:
[...]
django.contrib.auth.tests.custom_user.CustomUser
django.contrib.auth.tests.custom_user.ExtensionUser
[...]
You can then use the @override_settings decorator to make that test run
with the custom User model.
[...]
@override_settings(AUTH_USER_MODEL='auth.CustomUser')
}}}
So, unless I am mistaken, the example project follows the documentation to
the letter.
