Hi devs,
=== ''Some context first''
For one of my pluggable application I have two different test suites, one
of them being a Django dummy project.
In order to have a correct Coverage report, I run both of them in a
runtests.py script.
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/advanced/#running-
tests-outside-the-test-runner The Documentation] is a bit confusing and I
think a working snippet could be useful here.
For example, it is not required to execute `setup_test_environment()` nor
`django.test.runner.DiscoverRunner.setup_databases()` if you execute
`DiscoverRunner.run_tests()` which is what you want in the end.
The following snippet could be useful to the newcomers don't you think ?
{{{
import os
import sys
import django
from django.test.runner import DiscoverRunner
sys.path.insert(0, '../..') # path to the development sources.
sys.path.insert(0, 'test_project') # path the the test project.
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'test_project.settings'
os.environ['DJANGO_LIVE_TEST_SERVER_ADDRESS'] = '127.0.0.1:8082'
django.setup()
runner = DiscoverRunner()
runner.run_tests(['my_app'])
}}}
