The example project for adding tests.

Guide to Testing in Django

This is the example project demonstrating how to go about testing from the blog series on the topic. It adds tests to the perennial "polls" app from the Django tutorial (minus the generic views).

Tags have been added for each step in the process, starting with 01-initial. The project is based on Django 1.3 & SQLite.

For the admin:

• Username: admin
• Password: abc123

guide-to-testing-in-django's Issues

It should specify wich version of Django is using

Maybe a "requirements.txt" should do.

Test with ManyToManyField

It would be interesting to create tests in model layer, using fixtures in the case of models containing fields of type ManyToManyField.

Git clone creates an uncompatible directory name

Hay and thanks for the tutorial at http://toastdriven.com/blog/2011/apr/10/guide-to-testing-in-django/ !

My reading experience was stopped by following error at tag 02-first-test:
python manage.py test polls
...
ImportError: No module named guide_to_testing.urls

The command "git clone https://github.com/toastdriven/guide-to-testing-in-django.git" created a directory named guide-to-testing-in-django. After renaming the directory to guide_to_testing, the "python manage.py test polls" worked like expected.

Maybe there is a fix for this? I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, running Python 2.6.6, Django 1.3 and Git 1.7.1.

And one other thing being related to the tutorial... My current Git doesn't know command "git co 02-first-test". Only "git checkout 02-first-test" works. Since my git version is default version in Ubuntu repositories, this little problem may affect other people too.

Django 1.6 compatible

execute_manager is deprecated in Django 1.4 and removed in Django 1.6. Hence I'll get this exception in Django 1.6+

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./manage.py", line 2, in <module>
    from django.core.management import execute_manager
ImportError: cannot import name execute_manager

Link in description still broken

The link in the README works but the description link at the top of the page on Github should be:

http://toastdriven.com/blog/2011/apr/10/guide-to-testing-in-django/

Error in the website with checkout labels

It says "git co " when it should be "git checkout tags/<tag_name>"

Link: http://toastdriven.com/blog/2011/apr/10/guide-to-testing-in-django/ is broken

On README the link to the blog series is broken
