Test helpers, mostly geared around the database. Tested on Django 1.2.
pip install django-test-helpersCreate a temporary database:
from testhelpers.dbmanager import TemporaryDatabase
with TemporaryDatabase(fixtures=['myfixture.json'], db_prefix='test'):
# do some stuff
passNote
If you're using Nashvegas, the TemporaryDatabase will attempt to automatically migrate your database and preserve executed migrations.
Run some commands in transactional isolation:
from testhelpers.dbmanager import Transactionless
with Transactionless(fixtures=['myfixture.json']):
# do some stuff
pass
