sayane, I ran tests with INSTALLED_APPS=() and everything went ok. Can you describe what are you doing to run the content types tests and making this fail?

comment:4 by anonymous, 13 years ago

Well, tests for django.contrib.contenttypes won't run, if you don't have this app in INSTALLED_APPS, right? One of tests is using User model to create new record. Obviously, if auth app is not installed, it will fail.

I don't think that existing patch is correct. ContentType framework should work without Auth framework, and the shortcut view should be tested independently from presence of Auth.

comment:6 by Sayane, 13 years ago

Do you have any idea how to test it? It needs model synced with db, with get_absolute_url method (ContentType model doesn't have this method). Creating new test in django/tests with dedicated model doesn't make any sense, because auth app is always installed when using django/tests/runtests.py, so test_shortcut_view will be executed properly.

comment:7 by dmedvinsky, 13 years ago

Still, I don't think there should be a link between these two apps, because they are independent per se. Creating a dummy model for the test seems a better solution for me. But that's only mine opinion. I think we need someone else to vote.

Looks like this issue made it into 1.2.4 as well. It's real easy to recreate:

django-admin.py startproject djangotest
cd djangotest
sed -e '/ENGINE/s/backends./&sqlite3/' -e '/contrib.auth/d' -i settings.py
python manage.py test

The attached patch - or any other which removes test_shortcut_view - works fine.

comment:10 by Russell Keith-Magee, 13 years ago

Patch needs improvement: set

I'm not convinced the approach taken by the patch is correct. auth is being used here because we need a model on which to invoke shortcut(), and auth is a generally reliable option.

However, auth isn't always available, so we just need to find a substitute. Turns out you can actually define a model in tests.py, and that model will be available during testing, but not in production. This avoids the need to create a second test module for contenttype tests. It also provides an opportunity to test aspects of shortcut() that aren't currently tested -- testing models that *don't* have get_absolute_url defined.

Patch needs improvement: unset

This patch implements a bogus User model for the test_shortcut_view to use during the test run. Done @ PyCon 2011.
