I'm sorry for my inconsistency. I tried to "simplify", but made a mistake. In fact, I used the app "messages" throughout, in my code and in the test command. The project containing the app works fine. In particular, the app "messages" is included in INSTALLED_APPS.
So, if the test "should work" as I've written it, can anyone suggest what might be wrong? Django configuration error? Settings error? Permissions error? Something else?

As long as your app is mentionned in INSTALLED_APPS (and you'd > have a different exception if it wasn't the case), this should work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
