Django MongoEngine tests directory/folder

Hello everyone,

This took me hours to work, I hope you find it useful and don't waste time looking for it as I did.

What I was trying to accomplish?

I was trying to have a tests folder with tests files instead of a single file (tests.py).

Why?
Because I was using Selenium to generate python tests and I don't wanna append them into the tests.py since Selenium generate a single python test script for each test.

You may wanna check my other post before this one

Versions:
Django 1.7
MongoEngine 0.8.7

How?
1-in setting.py of myapp

TEST_RUNNER = 'myapp.tests.__init__.NoSQLTestRunner'

2-create a folder inside your myapp folder and create a file named __init__.py

3-write the below in the created __init__.py

import unittest

from django.test import TestCase

from django.test.simple import DjangoTestSuiteRunner

import os

def suite():   

    return unittest.TestLoader().discover("OnToology.tests", pattern="*.py")

class NoSQLTestRunner(DjangoTestSuiteRunner):

    def setup_databases(self):

        pass

    def teardown_databases(self, *args):

        pass

class NoSQLTestCase(TestCase):

    def _fixture_setup(self):

        pass

    def _fixture_teardown(self):

        pass

4- in terminal go the parent directory of your myapp

python manage.py test myapp

I also recommend using  coverage
