Test database named just "test_".

[rvernica]

When I do manage.py test the database that is created is named only test_

In settings.py I have:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'read_default_file': 'app/my.cnf',
        },
    }
}

while in my.cfg I have:

[client]
host = db
database = foo
user = bar
password = taz
default-character-set = utf8

I expect that the test database be called test_foo

Not sure what to do here. It looks like #30636 added tested support for using read_default_file with manage.py test but it assumed NAME was provided.

Given ​we already provide an option to specify the test database name I'm not convinced teaching the test database name generation logic to parse CNF files if NAME is not provided is worth the complexity it incurs. Given a test_ database name is completely valid and this would thus yield cosmetic only benefits I'm inclined to close this as wontfix.

I agree with Simon, we don't want to parse cnf files and we provide an option to specify the test database name.
