I am struggling to get 'reverse' working when running tests for actions
defined in my admin.py files.

If I open a Django shell and run:

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
print reverse('admin:trees_alivetrees_changelist')

I get:

/admin/trees/alivetrees/

as expected.

But if I define a test file (called `test_admin_fail.py`):

from django.test import TestCase
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse

class TreeAdminTest(TestCase):

    def test_action_tree_mark_dead(self):
        change_url = reverse('admin:trees_alivetrees_changelist')
        self.assertContains(change_url, "alivetrees")   # temporary test

and run it from the command line:

python manage.py test --traverse-namespace tests.trees.test_admin_fail -v 2
--settings=test_settings

then I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/dev/tests/trees/test_admin_fail.py", line 7, in
test_action_tree_mark_dead
    change_url = reverse('admin:trees_alivetrees_changelist')

**kwargs))

<traceback object at 0x7fe779406c20>)


The test_settings.py file is used to create an in-memory database (and has
never itself caused any issues before).


Any guidance here would be appreciated; I have tried Googling for the
error, but the combination of admin, testing and reverse is one I have not
seen.

Thanks
