Description

I have a project where I am not using any models. My appdir looked like 

   app/views.py
   app/__init__.py
   app/tests.py

I created a tests.py and the get_apps would fail to find the application, even though it was listed under installed apps. When running ./manage.py test app, it would fail saying there was no application with that label.

I could reproduce this.

  • has_patch set to 1.

I created a patch for this, but I did not create tests... (I was not really sure how to creat tests for it :-)) If someone is interested in using this and add the tests instead of starting from scratch, that would be great.

this should replace the previous patch

This problem has an easy workaround 'touch models.py' in relevant apps.

It can still is a bit of a gotcha though(some of my unittests weren't running for couple months and still wouldn't be if I hadn't added one and noticed the test count not increment). So, I'm working on a minimal patch to resolve this issue.

There's an overlapping patch for the problem of testing models in separate files in #5751. It would make sense to merge these patches.

Add/Change #3310 (manage.py test does not work if there is not a model.py in the application)
