You're right, I'm creating an app with migrations but want to be able to
run tests without migrations when I'm mid-development. I also agree that if
I'm running integration tests before deployment, or a non-developer is
running tests before installing something written by someone else then
those tests should use migrations, so it's not as simple as "don't use
migrations in tests".
How about specifying whether a database is migrated as part of the database
definition in the settings module? That way a database would either be
migrated or not, and if a developer wants to set up an alternative
non-migrated database for development there's a supported way of doing it.
Something like:
# in settings_bernie_dev.py
from .settings import *
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'testdb.sqlite3'),
'USE_MIGRATIONS': False,
}
}
