My approach to a similar problem is to instantiate a user within my test
setup and pass that user to the model.save function.
i.e
class Device(models.Model):
foo = models....
bar = models....
def save(self, user=None):
model_instance = save_function(self, user)
super(Device, model_instance).save()
def save_function(model_instance, user=None):
if user == None:
user = threadlocals.get_current_user()
model_instance.owner = user
return model_instance
having the kwarg user in the save and save_function definition allows my
test to pass the user, while through the browser during normal operations it
is gotten from threadlocals. I also can then manipulate devices within the
shell as well.
hope this helps.
