#22334 closed Bug (worksforme)

Postgis version check discards dev versions

Description

After installing a dev version of Postgis, I noticed that my Django app started to throw django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Cannot determine PostGIS version for database "gmp". GeoDjango requires at least PostGIS version 1.3. Was the database created from a spatial database template?

Actually the version check regular expression did only accept regular version numbers (like 2.1.0) but not development version numbers (2.2.0dev).

This seems sensible to me, the only thing that is missing is a test for the newly supported behaviour. Could you add that to your PR?

Sure I will do.

I looked into it, however I could not find a proper place to put them. Would you have a recommendation to make on this subject?

Indeed. Feel free to create a new django/contrib/gis/tests/tests.py file.

Hum, this is embarrassing: while writing the tests, I discovered that I could not reproduce the bug on the unpatched code. Indeed, there is no $ at the end of the regexp.

I have no idea of how writing this patch turned the DB connection from "not working" to "working", but it wasn't probably correlated that much.

However, I wrote and pushed some unit tests, in case you want to keep them anyway.
