Unfortunately, nothing easy comes to mind. My only thought was the possibility of putting your own wrapper around their tests. The idea being is that you call your wrapper which in turns loads the fixtures and calls their tests rather than having Django call their tests directly. This wrapper could be a unit test or be a derivative of the Django test runner. Don't know how feasible either is but I'm guessing neither would be trivial. Maybe I'm wrong, I didn't pursue the thought any more than having a wrapper of some kind. I was originally just going on your statements that fixtures weren't used in the tests because they weren't recommended (which is not really the case). Hope you figure something out. > Cheers > > Tom > >
