Starting test runs from Visual Studio Test Explorer doesn't call database creation and Django setup() before running the test(s).
My current workaround is to call something like this, which I keep in config.settings.test
def setUpTestingWithDatabase():
import os
from django.test.utils import setup_test_environment
from django import setup
os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "config.settings.test"
setup_test_environment()
setup()
by adding this code to the top of every test file:
import sys
if not ('manage.py' in sys.argv):
from config.settings.test import setUpTestingWithDatabase
setUpTestingWithDatabase()
This works, and can still use the nose runner, and a CLI call like
> python manage.py test myApp
This works all very well, but I would like to avoid this code, keep it vanilla AND use it from both CLI and Test Explorer. MS Visual Studio supports runsettings, and I wonder if they can be used? Any other ideas?
