Comment (by nuald <[email protected]>):
Of course, let me describe an issue more detailed:
- we have strict security policy in our application - only superusers or
users with special permissions can create another users, and a usual user
can modify only its own account with few restrictions;
- automated admin sites in Django is not flexible enough - we can't allow
user to modify only its own account without access to other accounts;
- so we added pre_save handler for User model, and after that internal
Django tests fails (because testclient user do not have superuser status,
and it creates another users during these tests).
The simple way to fix it - check if pre_save handler works in test
environment and disable it during tests. But we didn't find a way how to
do it correctly. Our study shows that a more clear way to fix it - give
testclient user a superuser status. Of course, we didn't modify Django
core in our case, and just add required fixture in our project. But I'm
worry that this situation can happen with other Django developers.
