Hello,

I'm preparing some customizations that might go a bit deeper than skin customization. Therefore I'm investigating the tests found in askbot/tests. However, I don't find any obvious way to run them (I see there's a tox specification file in there, though). Are there descriptions somewhere on how to run them?

And if I get them running, how much of the test suites are expected to pass?

Edit: here's my settings.py:

## Django settings for ASKBOT enabled project.

The tests can be run this way:

python manage.py test askbot

This implies that you have created a project? (I have sources cloned in another directory than my project for experimentation)

hmm, if askbot is in the installed apps, then the tests should run that way, regardless of where the app files are. But if you have issues with the command - like no tests run when you type the command - the test library might need to be debugged - insert import pdb; pdb.set_trace() line in the beginning of askbot/tests/__init__.py then step through. There might be some import error or something like that. On my development box the tests run ok.

Evgeny ( 2011-12-20 08:37:53 -0500 )edit

I've created a lab project (calling it 'dev' here) in my cloned directory. When running python dev/manage.py test askbot against that I get a long traceback ending like this: File "/Users/jacob/src/oss/askbot-dev/src/askbot/askbot/deps/livesettings/values.py", line 336, in _value raise SettingNotSet("Startup error, couldn't load %s.%s" %(self.group.key, self.key)) askbot.deps.livesettings.models.SettingNotSet: ("Startup error, couldn't load EXTERNAL_KEYS.RECAPTCHA_SECRET", None)

This error is hard to debug. Can you send me sources of your project? Maybe something is missing in settings.py did you use settings.py that comes with askbot as a starting point and then added your app or the other way around? There are a couple of issues associated with the live settings module that I would like to resolve, but need failing test cases for that.

Evgeny ( 2011-12-20 08:43:10 -0500 )edit

We will look hard into this issue, I actually have a branch with that exact error, I will look again.

I managed to get a test run that seems more promising by modifying the manage.py of the dummy project with the follow code after the import sections:

import sys, os
if 'DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE' not in os.environ:
    os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'dev.settings' # <-- name of my dummy project

if 'test' in sys.argv:
    sys.path.append('.')
    from dev import settings # <-- my dev project's settings module here
    settings.LIVESETTINGS_OPTIONS = {
        settings.SITE_ID: {'SETTINGS':
                {'EXTERNAL_KEYS': {
                    'RECAPTCHA_SECRET': 'xxx'
                    }
                 }
            }
    }

    from django.test.utils import setup_test_environment, teardown_test_environment
    setup_test_environment()
    if 'south' in settings.INSTALLED_APPS:
        from south.management.commands import patch_for_test_db_setup
        patch_for_test_db_setup()
    from django.db import connection
    connection.creation.create_test_db(1, True)

The test suites seems to be taking quite long time to run on my machine even with an sqlite3 :memory: database, but I suppose that's to be expected. I'll let it run through when I get time. It does seem to throw occasional failures, though.

SOUTH setup in test environments from my fork of django-pytest.

We use development version of South right now as there was some issue with a released one, never heard of django-pytest... The workaround looks interesting, but not sure too many hacks can stand on top of each other:).
