i’ve used Django test for my entire life and now i am using Py.test. I agree that pytest is much cleaner than django itself. The benefit from pytest is fixture in another file. It makes my test case compact by let them be my input parameters. In Django unittest you can still use fixtures in … Read more
The final solution that fixes my problem is to force Django to disable migration during testing, which can be done from the settings like this TESTING = ‘test’ in sys.argv[1:] if TESTING: print(‘=========================’) print(‘In TEST Mode – Disableling Migrations’) print(‘=========================’) class DisableMigrations(object): def __contains__(self, item): return True def __getitem__(self, item): return None MIGRATION_MODULES = DisableMigrations() … Read more

Python’s unittest module has a few decorators: There is plain old @skip: from unittest import skip @skip(“Don’t want to test”) def test_something(): … If you can’t use @skip for some reason, @skipIf should work. Just trick it to always skip with the argument True: @skipIf(True, “I don’t want to run this test yet”) def test_something(): … Read more
