auth.LoginTest seems to require sites

[Brian]

Hi,

When I run the unit tests, I get a failure (stack trace below) from django.contrib.auth.tests.views.LoginTest. test_current_site_in_context_after_login calls Site.objects.get_current() which fails because I'm not using that app. If I include it in the list of installed apps, then the test passes. However, then a bunch of the tests that I've written fail; I think that's because they are using fixtures that are not valid with respect to the schema defined the inclusion of sites, but I haven't confirmed this.

The standard apps that I'm using are:

    'django.contrib.auth',

    'django.contrib.contenttypes',

    'django.contrib.sessions',

    'django.contrib.admin',

Is the test broken or is there something that I'm doing that makes the sites app mandatory?

Thanks for any help you can give,

Brian

In case anyone else has the same issue, the problem stopped when I upgraded django from 1.2 to 1.3.
