Hello everyone. I've seen several threads in the past months about integrating Selenium into Django, so hopefully I'm not asking something that's already been asked.
I'm using OpenQA.org's Python RC client to communicate with a Selenium server running in the background. I have a SeleniumTestCase class that inherits from Python's unittest.TestCase class. In its setUp(), it calls start() on the RC client to initiate a session. Similarly in its tearDown(), it calls stop(). The problem arises when running ./django-admin test. I have a TestSuite with several model tests (which run well) and several SeleniumTestCase-based tests. However, I quickly realized that I'll need to spawn the Django development server from the test code somehow - otherwise, the Selenium tests won't have anything to connect to. At this point I'm stuck. My current code runs ./django-admin runserver through the popen2 module. This has a major flaw, though: the "runserver" process uses one database, but the initial ./django-admin test process uses another database - one that it recreates and then destroys every time it's used. In other words, spawing a separate "runserver" process doesn't allow me to take advantage of Django's automatic testrunner code. I end up with a freshly created test database that's completely untouched by Selenium tests AND the original database specified in settings.py (which doesn't get reset automatically). I can't figure out how to use Django's management code to spawn a runserver process without calling ./django-admin.py first. I also can't figure out how to resolve the double database issue. I've examined the patch in #2879 and the explanations in #2867, but I've been unable to recreate their steps. Does anyone have any suggestions to point me in the right direction? I apologize for the long email, and hopefully I'm not missing anything fundamental. Thank you!
