I've looked the specs over and I'm not sure this warrants a test. The
current Django tests for `update_contenttypes` already test for
interactive. All this change does is automatically respond to it's prompt
in the very same way the `test_interactive_true` does.
````
def test_interactive_true(self):
"""
interactive mode of update_contenttypes() (the default) should
delete
stale contenttypes.
"""
management.input = lambda x: force_str("yes")
with captured_stdout() as stdout:
management.update_contenttypes(self.app_config)
self.assertIn("Deleting stale content type", stdout.getvalue())
self.assertEqual(ContentType.objects.count(), self.before_count)
````
As for documentation I was considering placing it in the contenttypes.txt
and adding a Management section to describe the `force_remove` argument
and `remove_contenttypes` method. If that's an inappropriate place, please
make a recommendation. Thanks again.
