Hi all,

I'm having trouble creating a test suite in Django 1.3.

Say I have an installed app in a directory called app_name. One of the
files in that directory is foo.py which defines a class named Foo. I
want to test that, so I also have a file that directory called
foo_test.py which defines a class named FooTest. That file looks like:

  import unittest
  import foo

  class FooTest(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
      self.foo_instance = foo.Foo()

    ... etc


Now down the line I'll have other test cases in other files, and I'll
want to run them all as part of a test suite. So in the same directory
app_name I created a file tests.py which will define the suite. At
first I defined it like:


  from django.test.simple import DjangoTestSuiteRunner

  def suite():
    runner = DjangoTestSuiteRunner()
    return runner.build_suite(['app_name'])


Unfortunately, this fails because calling
runner.build_suite(['app_name']) searches app_name for a tests.py
file, executes suite(), and this continues recursively until the
Python interpreter stops everything for exceeding the maximum
recursion depth.

Changing runner.build_suite(['app_name']) to the following:

  runner.build_suite(['app_name.foo_test'])
  runner.build_suite(['app_name.foo_test.FooTest'])

Leads to errors like "ValueError: Test label 'app_name.foo_test' does
not refer to a test". And changing it to the following:

  runner.build_suite(['foo_test'])
  runner.build_suite(['foo_test.FooTest'])

Leads to errors like "App with label foo_test could not be found".

I'm kind of out of ideas at this point. Any help would be very much
appreciated!

Regards,
Mike
