Import error when unit testing with django.test.client on django 1.1.1

[Erlendur Hákonarson]

I am trying to set up unit tests on my project

but when I try to import anything from f.e. django.test

then I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ERROR: Module: Test could not be imported (file: C:\TFSSrc_Branch\DER_UnitTesting\bo\tests\testLists\Test.py).

Here is my code:

import unittest

#from django.utils import unittest

from django.test.Client import Client

class TestLists(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):

        from django.test import Client

        self.client =  Client()

        self.client.login(username='erlendurh', password='e12345')

    def tearDown(self):

        pass

    def testGetList(self):

        self.client.get('/clearing/rep/contracts/from/2011-11-16/to/2011-11-26/')

        

if __name__ == "__main__":

    unittest.main()

I would be very glad if someone could help me with this problem :)

Best regards

Hi

The error is:

> ImportError: Could not import settings 'DER.settings' (Is it on
> sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): No module named DER.settings
> ERROR: Module: Test could not be imported (file:

> C:TFSSrc_BranchDER_UnitTestingboteststestListsTest.py).

You should google a bit on how to setup django tests with eclipse.
It looks like eclipse tests do not have your project in their paths
thus it doesn't find DER.settings.

Xavier.

Thanks Xavier

I will research this better

but the path for the settings file is wrong in this error, it should be 'bo.settings' not 'DER.settings'

but that might be because the tests do not have my project in their path

Thanks again
