Re: Speficy a Database for Testing

You can define a custom test runner to do this. For example:

I'm not sure that you can specify a different existing database. I think
(not certain) that Django's testing is built to have no effect on real
data, hence creating a blank test database. You can, however, use fixtures
to create data in the test database after it is created and before the unit
tests are performed. I assume the reason you want to use a previously,
externally created DB is that you want to test based on the data in that
DB. If this is the case, it is perfect to use a fixture of that DB's data.

Yes, but django makes a new testDatabase and that's my problem, I want
django to use a database I've previously done.

Denis Darii already answered this on February 1st:

if 'test' in sys.argv:

hope this helps."


Did you try this?

Speficy a Database for Testing

[xina towner]

Can I create a Database manually and then specify to the testing unit to
use that?
