I'll start by saying this has worked on my system in the past, and I also tried a fresh checkout of head with no difference.

When I run

./manage.py testmaker --app=[app]

I get the following partial stacktrace:

Handling app '[app]'
Logging tests to [app]\tests\cportal_testmaker.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

    stream = open(self.baseFilename, self.mode)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '\\\\nul'

Looking at the code the problem is passing path.devnull into logging.BasicConfig(). What I don't understand is that this seems to be a mature section of code, so why did this work on my machine before, and why isn't it working now? Also it'd be nice to have it work as intended. I simply have that commented out in my code right now.

I have a project using South for DB migrations, and have also installed django-test-utils.

However while ./manage.py test works fine, ./manage quicktest doesn't - I get an error:

  Error: Database test_livetalkback couldn't be flushed. Possible reasons:
      * The database isn't running or isn't configured correctly.
      * At least one of the expected database tables doesn't exist.
      * The SQL was invalid.
    Hint: Look at the output of 'django-admin.py sqlflush'. That's the SQL this command wasn't able to run.
    The full error: (1146, "Table 'test_livetalkback.polls_event' doesn't exist")

This is prefixed with the standard syncdb output.

From the looks of it, what's happening is that ./manage.py test is managing to get to a syncdb that is the original (django-stock) version, whereas quicktest is picking up the South modified version.

Hi,

It would be nice to have a --disable-plugin option, to disable the time plugin for instance.

I started on a patch, but it is a little difficult at the moment, as the 'default active' plugins are setup in de the Crawler.__init__ method. I think the right solution for this is to do away with the active attribute, and populate the plugins option of the management command with the plugins that should be enabled by default. That way it is easy to disable plugins.

What do you think?

When I try to execute quicktest with specific app I get error:

ram@ram-laptop:~/workspace/movister/web_site$ ./manage.py quicktest movister

DATABASE_ENGINE = 'postgresql_psycopg2'

I install this with "pip install django-test-utils", then tried to use the twill runner. it gave an error saying twill wasn't available. "pip install twill" made the error go away. suspect a dependency is missing from django-test-utils.

The automatically generated testmaker tests do not work because of a syntax error. The syntax error is because the context variables contain single quotes that are not escaped properly.

in the docs we have '–addrport

This allows you to pass in the normal address and post options for runserver.'

should it not be 'port' and not 'post'

Here is a sample:

def test_incidentrecordincident5_130379586082(self):
r = c.post('/incident/recordincident/5/', {'customer': '''is_product': 'on''escalate_response': '24''Register': 'Record incident''source': '1''businessunit': '1''problemdescription': '2''product': '1''escalate_resolved': '36''respcentre': '1''mode': '1''csrfmiddlewaretoken': '7ff2f1bb73f90c033cc1fbf32fde0bb8''asset': ''})

I have to manually add the commas in order not to get a syntax error when I copy to my test file. Is this a bug?

Hi thanks for this project. Please could you correct a little windows problem I'm having, basically /dev/null doesn't exist on windows but os.path.devnull will adapt to OS as necessary. could you change testmaker's init.py as follows:

line 89/90:
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.CRITICAL,
filename=path.devnull)

I got this error:

I know this error is about python version but I don't know how I can fix this. Thanks for help.

Just wondering if any work has been done on this? I seems that the test runner (quicktest) doesn't work on 1.3. (problems with setup_test_environment())

I'm happy to fix it and submit a pull request, but wont if someone has already done this!

Project is basically unmaintained, but documenting for future users:

I have a pretty stock Heroku + RDS Postgres setup for a Django 1.8 webapp, with a local postgres DB setup for testing. I'm using elephantblog from feinCMS for blogging. The production blog (offerletter.io/blog/) has been getting a fair amount of posting volume, and I wanted to backfill the local development DB so I could play with styling etc of content in prod.

I ended up running heroku run --app blahblahblah makefixture elephantblog.Entry elephantblog.Category etc etc so that I could just dump all blog-related content and load it up locally in JSON. Unfortunately it looks like it's being truncated at some point. I suspect it might just be some pipe or some other random CLI UI limit, but it would be nice if it's fixed.

I am getting an error while installing django-test-utils package either using "pip install django-test-utils==0.3" or simply "pip install django-test-utils".

I'm using django 1.3.1 and django-test-utils 0.3

As far as I can tell the only way to activate any of the included plugins is:

1. Change 'active' to True in the plugin's source
2. Import it in the init py file

Is this correct? I propose the following:

1. Move the active flag for plugins into a settings file that can be overridden in the project's settings. The default settings should match the currently enabled plugins.
2. Automatically import all plugins in the directory.

This would allow projects to choose which plugins they should use. It would also allow external plugins without editing the source of django-test-utils. I don't mind submitting a PR but thought I'd run the general approach past people first.

The documentation talks about using the django_test_runner.py script, but it looks like the package for django-test-utils does not include it.

ImproperlyConfigured: Error importing middleware test_utils.testmaker.middleware.testmaker: "cannot import name importlib"

Hi,

It looks like this project is languishing a little bit although there still seems to be interest in it. I know Eric H. is a busy guy with a lot of irons in the fire. I would be willing to help/take-over maintaining this project if there is still interest.

If there is a process for doing this, I apologize in advance for missing it.

If objects are related via django.contrib.contenttypes they don't appear in fixture.

When running

python manage.py testmaker -a app

middlewares fail to find some META attributes such as HTTP_USER_AGENT

missing import re in test_utils\crawler\plugins\urlconf.py

Hi all,

I am trying to make django-test-utils works nicely with django 1.4. My work is available here:

https://github.com/bmihelac/django-test-utils/tree/django-1.4

Currently there is one test failing. I cannot find and now I am out of ideas, why context is not assigned to response in TestMakerMiddleware (https://github.com/bmihelac/django-test-utils/blob/django-1.4/test_utils/testmaker/middleware/testmaker.py#L68).

If I duplicate same line:

response = c.get(request.path, getdict)

second response will have contextassigned.

Any help will be appreciated.

a lot of tests are created that just test for media files.

Work in progress that supports Django 1.4 and up based on #30 :

https://github.com/bmihelac/django-test-utils/tree/0.4-WIP

Currently all tests pass.

I would really appreciate if you can test and report any issues.

Hello Eric,
I try using twill to my tests but I am unable to successfully submit form via POST as logged user. Look at this code:

login(username="myusername", password="mypassword")
go('/myurl/')
fv(2, 'continue', '')
submit()

problem

logout()

If I print show_cookies() I get different value before and after submit. On this test I want to check, if application return the same page with form together with error messages due to mandatory form fields. But all I get is login page (because POST don't set cookies, and my code put redirection to login page).
