django-nose
django-nose provides all the goodness of nose in your Django tests, like:
- Testing just your apps by default, not all the standard ones that
happen to be in
INSTALLED_APPS - Running the tests in one or more specific modules (or apps, or classes, or folders, or just running a specific test)
- Obviating the need to import all your tests into
tests/__init__.py. This not only saves busy-work but also eliminates the possibility of accidentally shadowing test classes. - Taking advantage of all the useful nose plugins
It also provides:
- Fixture bundling, an optional feature which speeds up your fixture-based tests by a factor of 4
- Reuse of previously created test DBs, cutting 10 seconds off startup time
- Hygienic TransactionTestCases, which can save you a DB flush per test
- Support for various databases. Tested with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. Others should work as well.
django-nose requires nose 1.2.1 or later, and the latest release is recommended. It follows the Django\'s support policy, supporting:
- Django 1.8 (LTS) with Python 3.5
- Django 1.9 with Python 3.5
- Django 1.10 with Python 3.5
- Django 1.11 (LTS) with Python 3.5 or 3.6
- Django 2.0 with Python 3.5, 3.6, or 3.7
- Django 2.1 with Python 3.5, 3.6, or 3.7
- Django 2.2 with Python 3.5, 3.6, or 3.7
Note to users
nose has been in maintenance
mode since at least 2015. django-nose is in maintenance mode as well,
and the sole maintainer is no longer an active user. See
Jazzband.co to learn how django-nose is
maintained and how you can help. New projects should consider using
pytest, or
unittest with the
Django testing
framework.
Installation
You can get django-nose from PyPI with... :
$ pip install django-nose
The development version can be installed with... :
$ pip install -e git://github.com/jazzband/django-nose.git#egg=django-nose
Since django-nose extends Django\'s built-in test command, you should
add it to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'django_nose',
...
)
Then set TEST_RUNNER in settings.py:
TEST_RUNNER = 'django_nose.NoseTestSuiteRunner'
