Comment (by julien):
Thanks for this. I thought I'd also remind here the hack (originally
posted at http://groups.google.com/group/django-
users/browse_thread/thread/559aa0a2d074a7b5) which I've successfully used
in many applications, and which is reasonably succinct in terms of lines
of code. This is in fact what served as a model for the patch I've posted
in this ticket. Maybe that will be useful to someone until this ticket
eventually gets fixed.
Sample file structure:
{{{
myapp/
tests/
fakeapp/
__init__.py
models.py
__init__.py
models.py
views.py
urls.py
}}}
Here is the testing code (located in `myapp/tests/__init__.py`):
{{{
import sys
from django.test import TestCase
from django.conf import settings
from django.core.management import call_command
from django.db.models.loading import load_app
from fakeapp.models import FakeItem
class TestMyApp(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.old_INSTALLED_APPS = settings.INSTALLED_APPS
settings.INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'myapp',
'myapp.tests.fakeapp',
)
load_app('myapp.tests.fakeapp')
call_command('syncdb', verbosity=0, interactive=False) #Create
tables for fakeapp
def tearDown(self):
settings.INSTALLED_APPS = self.old_INSTALLED_APPS
def test_blah(self):
item = FakeItem.objects.create(name="blah")
#Do some testing here...
}}}
