Hello again,
I temporarily patched Django source code (django/test/utils.py, lines 96
and 107) to:
cursor.execute("CREATE DATABASE %s WITH ENCODING 'UNICODE'" %
backend.quote_name(TEST_DATABASE_NAME))
So, now I could run my tests. And here is some experience which I get
during debuging (my advices are dedicated mainly for other testers; I am
developing application in Czech language, in utf-8 encoding):
* check *all* your strings (I have a lot of strings like 'něco' or
'%s-123' % var; most of them I must to rewrite to u'něco' and u'%s-123'
% var); check them on all possible places (models, views, tests,
settings, custom tags, ...)
* if you use Client in test (django.test.client), make sure, that you
recode content with smart_unicode function. For example:
response = self.submitHelper('www.example.com')
self.failUnlessEqual(response.status_code, 200)
self.failUnless(smart_unicode(response.content).find(u'nějaký
rětězec') != -1)
* make sure, that data, which you post via client.post, are correctly
encoded. For example:
post_data = {
'item1': u"První položka",
'item2': u"Druhá položka",
'item3': u"Třetí položka"
}
response = self.client.post('/url/', post_data)
Hope this will help to somebody.
Regards
Michal
