> Me again. Still helping clients TDD despite obese databases.
[localhost] run: python manage.py test --settings=test_settings my_app
--verbosity=0
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 2 tests in 0.018s
OK
Eat my vapor trail, b-words! Here's how I did it:
Upgrade the settings.py to use the TEST_NAME option:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'NAME': 'test_myapp.db',
'TEST_NAME': 'test_myapp.db',
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', ...
Then wedge the test runner methods that were destroying and rebuilding
the database:
def setup_databases(self, **kwargs):
from django.db import connections
old_names = []
mirrors = []
for alias in connections:
connection = connections[alias]
# If the database is a test mirror, redirect it's connection
# instead of creating a test database.
if connection.settings_dict['TEST_MIRROR']:
mirrors.append((alias, connection))
mirror_alias = connection.settings_dict['TEST_MIRROR']
connections._connections[alias] =
connections[mirror_alias]
else:
old_names.append((connection,
connection.settings_dict['NAME']))
# connection.creation.create_test_db(self.verbosity,
autoclobber=not self.interactive)
return old_names, mirrors
def teardown_databases(self, old_config, **kwargs):
from django.db import connections
old_names, mirrors = old_config
# Point all the mirrors back to the originals
for alias, connection in mirrors:
connections._connections[alias] = connection
# Destroy all the non-mirror databases
# for connection, old_name in old_names:
# connection.creation.destroy_test_db(old_name, self.verbosity)
from django.test.simple import DjangoTestSuiteRunner
DjangoTestSuiteRunner.setup_databases = setup_databases
DjangoTestSuiteRunner.teardown_databases = teardown_databases
The next thing I'll need to do is rebuild the database only if the
models or .json files change.
I could add that to the wedge methods, above, or I could simply add a
"make" like system to the fabric fabfile.py that runs the test:
def test():
# TODO Check file time of test_myapp.db. If it's less than
my_app/models.py
# or my_app/fixtures/my_app_database.json, rebuild the
db file
_sh('python manage.py test --settings=test_settings my_app --
verbosity=0')
This system now fully exploits sqlite3, especially its ability to
treat a transaction as a virtual ":memory:" database. It does not even
change the file time on the .db file when the tests run.
Could someone better at Django internals than me package this system
up and contrib it?
