is there a way to get django tests + buildout run well integrated with Eclipse/Aptana?

Question

Hi,

it's fairly easy to set up Eclipse to run a django project's tests created with django-admin startprojects, we whould just point a Run command to ./manage.py, and supply the necessary arguments.

but what can I do if a project is built using buildout? of course, bin/biuldout creates the handy bin/test-1.1 and bin/test-trunk files, but these are not integrated with eclipse

I can even run these as an external tool from Eclipse, but how can I get the nice code recognition of running manage.py test myapp?

does anyone know a solution? is there some buildout recipe that allows me to do this?

thanks for your help!

Answer 1

I'm assuming you use the djangorecipe recipe (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/djangorecipe)?

In that case, why can you apparently run "manage.py test myapp" and why can't you run "bin/django test myapp"? (Or "bin/test" for that matter)?

I suppose you have to configure that manage.py call somewhere, so why can't you configure bin/django in the same way? In the end, bin/django is just a python script, too. Have you tried calling it in the same way as manage.py?
