Hi,
When I create some stupid insertion, foreign keys are not checked in test
when using default sqlite engine. It looks like a regression to
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/11665
sqlite3 driver doesn't enforce foreign key constraints until commit is
called - impossible to use them in TestCase
In the first test method (low level) I ensure that sqlite is able to catch
such foreign key violations. In the second (high level) I prove that
django effectively disables this check in TestCase.
models.py:
{{{#!python
class Person(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=20)
mom = models.ForeignKey('Person', on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True)
}}}
tests.py:
{{{#!python
import sqlite3
from django.test import TestCase
from .models import Person
# Create your tests here.
class AppTests(TestCase):
def test_sqlite_constraints_low_level(self):
conn = sqlite3.connect(':memory:')
c = conn.cursor()
# Create table
c.execute('''CREATE TABLE contacts (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
name TEXT NOT NULL,
mom INTEGER,
FOREIGN KEY(mom) REFERENCES contacts(id)
)
''')
c.execute('PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON')
c.execute("insert into contacts(id, name, mom) values(1, 'Marge',
null)")
c.execute("insert into contacts(id, name, mom) values(2, 'Bart',
1)")
with self.assertRaises(sqlite3.IntegrityError):
c.execute("insert into contacts(id, name, mom) values(3,
'devil', 100)")
conn.commit()
conn.close()
def test_constraints_high_level(self):
"""
this should fail, but doesn't because of deferred constraints
checking:

In the related issue Simon Charette explicitly requests the
defered checking
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/14204#comment:19
actually the deferred behavior is needed by loading fixtures with
incorrect order of inserts or with object pointing to itself
However, in test is should not be check at the end of the test as
discussed in https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/11665
