Makes your Django tests simple and snappy
Project description
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 2.7, 3.4, or 3.5
Django 1.9 with Python 2.7, 3.4, or 3.5
Django 1.10 with Python 2.7, 3.4, or 3.5
Django 1.11 (LTS) with Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, or 3.6
Django 2.0 with Python 3.4, 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-noseThe development version can be installed with… :
$ pip install -e git://github.com/jazzband/django-nose.git#egg=django-noseSince 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'Development

1.1 (2012-05-19)
Django TransactionTestCases don’t clean up after themselves; they leave junk in the DB and clean it up only on _pre_setup. Thus, Django makes sure these tests run last. Now django-nose does, too. This means one fewer source of failures on existing projects. (Erik Rose)
Add support for hygienic TransactionTestCases. (Erik Rose)
Support models that are used only for tests. Just put them in any file imported in the course of loading tests. No more crazy hacks necessary. (Erik Rose)
Make the fixture bundler more conservative, fixing some conceivable situations in which fixtures would not appear as intended if a TransactionTestCase found its way into the middle of a bundle. (Erik Rose)
Fix an error that would surface when using SQLAlchemy with connection pooling. (Roger Hu)
Gracefully ignore the new --liveserver option introduced in Django 1.4; don’t let it through to nose. (Adam DePue)
1.0 (2012-03-12)
New fixture-bundling plugin for avoiding needless fixture setup (Erik Rose)
Moved FastFixtureTestCase in from test-utils, so now all the fixture-bundling stuff is in one library. (Erik Rose)
Added the REUSE_DB setting for faster startup and shutdown. (Erik Rose)
Fixed a crash when printing options with certain verbosities. (Daniel Abel)
Broke hard dependency on MySQL. Support PostgreSQL. (Roger Hu)
Support SQLite, both memory- and disk-based. (Roger Hu and Erik Rose)
Nail down versions of the package requirements. (Daniel Mizyrycki)
