I'm writing a reusable django app and I need to ensure that its models are only sync'ed when the app is in test mode. I've tried to use a custom DjangoTestRunner, but I found no examples of how to do that (the documentation only shows how to define a custom test runner).
So, does anybody have an idea of how to do it?
EDIT
Here's how I'm doing it:
#in settings.py import sys TEST = 'test' in sys.argv Hope it helps.

The preferred way to write tests in Django is using the unittest module built-in to the Python standard library. This is covered in detail in the Writing and running tests document. You can also use any other Python test framework; Django provides an API and tools for that kind of integration.
Open /catalog/tests/test_models.py.from django. test import TestCase # Create your tests here. Often you will add a test class for each model/view/form you want to test, with individual methods for testing specific functionality.
The request factory The RequestFactory shares the same API as the test client. However, instead of behaving like a browser, the RequestFactory provides a way to generate a request instance that can be used as the first argument to any view.
from the docs: When using SQLite, the tests will use an in-memory database by default (i.e., the database will be created in memory, bypassing the filesystem entirely!). The TEST dictionary in DATABASES offers a number of settings to configure your test database.
I think the answer provided here https://stackoverflow.com/a/7651002/465673 is a much cleaner way of doing it:
Put this in your settings.py:
import sys TESTING = sys.argv[1:2] == ['test'] If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
