django_runtests

django-runtests

Eases the writing of a runtests.py script for pluggable django application.

Such scripts usually provide a runtests() method that handle the test running behaviour.

Installation

• Globally::

  $ pip install django-runtests

• From the package's setup.py file (using Distribute)::

  setup( test_requires=[ 'django-runtests', ], test_suite='runtests.runtests', )

Defining the test setup

In your runtests.py file, add the following code::

from django_runtests import RunTests

def runtests():
    return RunTests.runtests()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    RunTests.main()

Tweaking the test setup

If you need to tweak some parts (updating configuration, adding options, ...), you simply have to extend the RunTests command class::

import django_runtests

class RunTests(django_runtests.RunTests):

    def should_test_app(self, app):
        """Test only applications listed in 'PACKAGE_APPS' setting."""
        from django.conf import settings
        return app in settings.PACKAGE_APPS
