Test using different database

[Antony]

Hi,

I have two databases on my settings file. One is sqlite and the other is postgis. It is a big project so some developers use sqllite and a few are using postgis. 

Now, when I try ./manage.py test command, I get the following,

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Creating test database for alias 'default'...

AttributeError: 'DatabaseOperations' object has no attribute 'geo_db_type'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is there a way to issue a command that contains the alias for the postgis database? I am looking for something like " ./manage.py test --database='spatial_db' " or similar. I have been looking around documentation and examples but haven't been able to come around this. Here is what I have been looking,

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/overview/#the-test-database

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code/unit-tests/

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/advanced/#topics-testing-advanced-multidb

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4650509/different-db-for-testing-in-django

Any suggestions would be appreciated! 

Thanks in advance,

A

Developers using different database engines is a very bad practice and WILL cause you troubles sooner or later.

I don't get something from your question: are both engines supposed to be used at the same time or do you want to select a specific one to runt the test suite?
