Comment (by László Károlyi): Update: It seems I managed to consistently insert the needed data into the DB before it gets cloned by subclassing the testrunner and running checks before `setup_databases()` runs. But that brought another problem I discovered, and which maybe could be fixed. So the first part I'm doing at startup is, I update my own permission models, which subclass the original django `Permission` model. Formerly, I had a function that would give a `ContentType` model of `django.contrib.auth`: {{{#!python def _get_perm_contenttype(app_label: str, model_name: str): """ Return a `ContentType`. """ from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType return ContentType.objects.get_for_model( apps.get_model(app_label=app_label, model_name=model_name)) }}} Because `ContentType.objects.get_for_model()` caches, and because the nature of the parallel testing, that cached result sometimes brought models with wrong `ID`s, and I got constraint violations because no such IDs existed in my DB. I fixed my code by not using `get_for_model()`, and using `get()` instead. I'm just leaving this information here for your consideration. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28320#comment:1> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
