Thanks Bastian, but not worth it. Not every system will have make on it, so that's going to cause confusion and questions and it's really easy to make a small test settings file, although some thought is required to pick the appropriate backend (SQLite is not always appropriate), which is why we don't ship one with Django.

Yes, perhaps a wiki page is more appropriate. At least I did not find any documentation on how to run the internal unit tests, and had to dig in the source code to come up with a working solution. Definitely not as easy as it could be ;)

I have provided a pull request for a Makefile at: https://github.com/django/django/pull/2906

Its main concern currently is also to run make test easily.

Regarding the comment from mtredinnick above:

Not every system will have make on it

That's not a reason to not provide an easy path on systems where it is available (Linux, MacOS, ..).

comment:4 by Aymeric Augustin, 10 years ago

Since that ticket was filed, Django gained a sample test settings file and it has become possible to run the tests with cd tests; ./runtests.py. Hiding that behind a Makefile doesn't really help. So it's still a wontfix for me.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
