How do I tell django-nose where my tests are?

Question

I have my tests for a Django application in a tests directory:

my_project/apps/my_app/
├── __init__.py
├── tests
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── field_tests.py
│   └         


        

Answer 1

To make nose realize where your apps are add these to the top of manage.py

import os, site

ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
path = lambda *a: os.path.join(ROOT, *a)
site.addsitedir(path('apps'))

Since then you can use

python manage.py test my_app.tests.storage_tests:TestCase.test_name
