changing settings.LOGIN_URL to end with something different than /login/, causes an error in testing your app

[Matt Harasymczuk]

Try changing settings.LOGIN_URL to end with something different than /login/ for example to signup or /admin/ (as it is in my case). You'll get an error in testing your app (django.contrib.auth.tests.views.ChangePasswordTest)

This doesn't happen when you run the test suite because runtests.py sets settings.LOGIN_URL = '/accounts/login/' (line 119). Changing it causes 12 test failures.

The 6 failures in modeltests and the 5 failures inregressiontests don't matter, because these tests are only supposed to be run by runtests.py.

The failure in django.contrib.auth.tests does, because this test may be run by ./manage.py test, and then the value of settings.LOGIN_URL won't be enforced.

I agree that only auth's tests need fixing. However, the tests would be more robust if they explicitly overrode the LOGIN_URL setting.

#16517 was a duplicate.

Fixed #16413 -- Stopped an auth test from failing if LOGIN_URL is set to a non-default value. Thanks, Aymeric Augustin.
