This is a custom test runner for Django that gives you really colorful test output.

Install the latest release with:

pip install django-rainbowtests

Then, add one of the following settings. For the DiscoverRunner behavior that was introduced with Django 1.6, use the following:

TEST_RUNNER = 'rainbowtests.test.runner.RainbowDiscoverRunner'

If you want the old-style behavior (Django 1.5 or older), use:

TEST_RUNNER = 'rainbowtests.test.simple.RainbowTestSuiteRunner'

Then run your tests!

This code should work with Django 1.4 - 1.8, Python 2.7 and Python 3.4. If you find otherwise, please open an Issue.

As of version 0.3.0, there is (experimental) support for coverage.

Run your tests as normal (python manage.py test <whatever>), and if you have coverage installed, you should see a report when your tests complete. Make sure you have a .coveragerc file, though!
