Replying to [comment:2 timo]:
> I believe you need to have `django.contrib.auth` in `INSTALLED_APPS` in
order to use `from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser`.
This appears to contradict actual behavior I've discovered from testing. I
purposely do not include `contrib.auth` in my actual application because I
don't want any auth models (groups, permissions, etc.). I stub the actual
`User.get_*` functions required by `contrib.admin` to avoid requiring
them.
This works 100% when running the actual site, but creates the above import
issue when running tests. The workaround provided above allows the User
model to load, and at that point, tests run 100% fine. So it seems, this
can work perfectly fine so long as `AUTH_USER_MODEL` is loaded ahead of
time at some point.
Adding `contrib.auth` to my `INSTALLED_APPS` would do nothing for me other
than creating a bunch of unused tables.
