Re: Migrations in Django 1.7 make unit testing models harder

You're roughly right, yes. String fields are a little odd, though, in that you can have them blank=True without null=True and then the default should be an empty string (Django's separation of blank and null irks me still) - the migrations should correctly detect this and insert blank strings for

Re: Migrations in Django 1.7 make unit testing models harder

Ah, so the reason I was confused is because it *looks* like the default is the empty string, because that's what you get if you initialise an object, by default. But at the database level, the default for the column is NULL. Is that right? So, I realise we're getting sidetracked here, but, how

Re: LiveServerTestCase vs StaticLiveServerCase

In that case, maybe the question is: which should be the default? Given that, as you say, most people use staticfiles, it feels to me like the test case in which static files "just work", without having to remember to run `collectstatic` before each test run, would feel like a good default.
