+1  Q: 

in a brand-new django project, django auth tests fail

I make a brand-new django project and do literally nothing with it except give values to DATABASE_USER, DATABASE_ENGINE, DATABASE_NAME, and DATABASE_PASSWORD, and django auth test fail. How is this even possible?

I also tried adding TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS as suggested at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2507210/django-failing-tests-from-django-contrib-auth/2507313#2507313

Below is verbatim what I typed:

$ django-admin --version
1.1.1
$ python --version
Python 2.5.5
$ django-admin startproject junk
$ cd junk
$ vim settings.py #edit DATABASE_USER, DATABASE_ENGINE, DATABASE_NAME,DATABASE_PASSWORD
$ ./manage.py test

What on earth am I missing?? I haven't even done anything wrong yet and I'm already failing :).

+1  A: 

The default action for "manage.py test" is to run all tests for applications listed in your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py. In this case, you end up running tests for django's auth application. Presumably, they need some data/fixtures perconfigured for the tests to run smoothly. What you want to do instead is run tests for your applications only: "manage.py test MY_APP". See Running Tests for more information.

UPDATE: Unless you're contributing a patch to django, I'm not sure it's necessary to run those tests everytime you run your own. But ... if you want to run the django tests, for whatever reason, the easiest way is the following (I'll use your "junk" project as a blank template).

  1. Make sure "junk" is in your PYTHONPATH and the DB user in the settings has "create database" permissions.
  2. Go to the "tests" directory in django (after unzipping the distributions this should be in the top level directory, e.g. "Django-1.2.1/tests".

  3. Type:

    python runtests.py --settings=junk.settings auth

    Ran 48 tests in 3.538s

    OK

ars  2010-07-17 18:38:00
But aren't the auth tests _there_ to be run?
Thr4wn  2010-07-17 18:58:40
Sure, if you want. See my update.
ars  2010-07-17 21:35:02
A: 

Did you set up your site and set the SITE_ID in your settings to 1? I recall that Django's test suite doesn't work correctly if SITE_ID is not set to 1.

mipadi  2010-07-17 18:49:45
SITE_ID is set to 1 by default in my version of django.
Thr4wn  2010-07-17 18:57:46
A: 

Make sure that PYTHONPATH and DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE are set before you run manapge.py. I like to make a script in my project directory that I can source when I want to run things. I.e.

# cat ./localenv
PYTHONPATH=...
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=...
# . ./localenv
# python ./manage.py ...
eruciform  2010-07-17 18:51:46
why would DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE need to be set? the settings.py file is being read quite fine.
Thr4wn  2010-07-17 19:16:23
try unsetting it and run manage.py again.. it doesn't work for me. it might not be the specific issue you have, but it's a common problem that's made me scratch my head enough times early on that i wanted to post my general solution. hopefully it'll help. maybe not. :-)
eruciform  2010-07-17 19:36:06

You have to specify at least one path in TEMPLATE_DIRS, then it will work fine. I don't know the reasons for it, maybe it is a bug. I did not elaborate...

zovision  2010-07-17 20:23:56
A: 

So I get the same thing, and when I put django admin in the INSTALLED_APPS, it doesn't fail anymore, because the admin module comes with the missing templates and handlers that the tests were complaining about.

So I guess my suggestion is leave django admin in INSTALLED_APPS, but don't turn it on in urlconf.
