Comment (by Denis Golomazov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>):
Well, the last patch seems not to work in current trunk version. The
structure of django/core has changed, and I see no obvious way of
implementing the patch.
I've created my own patch which seems to do the job. At least it works for
me. Probably you'll need Python 2.5 to run it and, of course, Linux (since
the fork() method is not implemented in Windows, as I believe). I tested
it only with SQLite and really don't know if it'll work with other
backends.
The patch does a simple thing: after initializing environment and creating
a test database, it forks and in child process a Django server is started.
Being a child, it inherits the environment. In parent process, a test is
started (which can include both Django !TestCase and Selenium methods),
and when it finishes the child is killed and the parent returns the
result. The patch consists of two files, one for django/test/simple.py and
another for django/test/utils.py.
One little thing to mention: I couldn't manage to make this idea work when
I used :memory: database (which is default for SQLite in tests), thus I
changed it to file. Then it worked.
Using this method you probably will not have to use testserver (see
[5912]).
Any comments would be much appreciated.
