Django's default TestCase runs the whole test inside a transaction, thus code trying to manage transactions fail. The reason for this is that if the tests are ran inside transactions, there is no need to clean up the database after the test, as doing rollback at the end of the test will guarantee clean state. If you need to test transactional code, use TransactionTestCase. - Anssi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
