Django manage.py test

Question

When running:

./manage.py test appname

How can I disable all the stats/logging/output after "OK"?

• I have already commented out the entire logging section - no luck.
• Also commented out any print_stat calls - no luck
• my manage.py is pretty bare so it likely isn't that.

I run many tests and constantly have to scroll up thousands of terminal lines to view results. Clearly, I am new to Python/Django and it's testing framework, so I would appreciate any help.

If it helps, I am importing:

class TestEmployeeAdd(unittest.TestCase):
        def setUp(self):

If you use a unix-like shell (Mac does) you can use the head command to do the trick like this:

python manage.py test appname | head -n 3

Switch the number 3 for the one you need to truncate the output after the OK line.

Also you can test if you like more the output yielded by setting the verbosity of the command to minimal like this:

python manage.py test appname -v 0

Hope this helps!
