django_quick_test Description

Django test runner that separates test database creation and test running django_quick_test is a custom nose based test runner that separates testing and test related database manipulations.Usualy running this command instead of the default manage.py test will give you 10-15 times speed boost. So you will be able to run your test suite in seconds instead of minutes.Installation1. Download the tarball and run python setup.py install2. Add quick_test to your INSTALLED_APPS list in settings.pyINSTALLED_APPS = ('quick_test')3. Add your test database details in settings.pyDATABASES = { 'default':{ 'ENGINE':''}, 'test':{ 'ENGINE': '', 'NAME': 'test_database', }} And finally replace the default Django test runner with this one. Again in settings.py:TEST_RUNNER = 'quick_test.NoseTestSuiteRunner'Usagedjango-quick-test assumes that you have created your test database manualy and you have loaded the required test data(fixtures)Commands you have to run before using the commandpython manage.py syncdb --database=testpython manage.py migrate --database=testand finaly run your tests withpython manage.py quick_testAdditional notesIf you are using the default Django TestCase class you have to ovewrite the _pre_setup method which is executed automatically when you call the class. If you don't overwrite it the quick_test command will still work, but your test data will be lost. Even if you don't have any fixtures in the database overwriting this method will give you additional speed boost.from django.test import TestCaseclass SimpleTest(TestCase) def _pre_setup(self): # this method flushes the database and installs # the fixtures defined in the fixtures=[] list # we are doing everything manually, so we don't # really need it # these are the results I get with 1 test before and after ovewriting the method # Before -> Ran 1 test in 2.336s # After -> Ran 1 test in 0.004s pass def test_basic_addition(self): self.assertEqual(1 + 1, 2) Requirements: · Python · Django · nose
