tests-outside-the-test-runner

It's not specific to testing, but it seems that we should mention the
necessity of calling `django.setup()` in the directions for running tests
outside of `manage.py`. I've submitted a pull request with a simple
documentation change: https://github.com/django/django/pull/2419

This may require some more discussion, though. As mjtamlyn points out,
another solution could be to include `django.setup()` in
`setup_test_environment()`. The call to `django.setup()` could also be
moved into the example for using `setup_test_environment()` rather than a
warning in its own.

Comment (by peter.landry@…):

Perhaps it would be better to add instructions or information regarding
`django.setup()` in
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/applications/, then just make a
reference in the testing docs to it in a warning about using django
outside of manage.py?

Comment:

Yes, it seems like we should enhance the documentation of
`django.setup()`. There's some mentions of it in the 1.7 release notes and
a couple other places like `docs/ref/django-admin.txt` and
`docs/intro/tutorial01.txt`.

Comment:

Indeed, django.setup() isn't correctly documented. Sorry about that.

Comment (by aaugustin):

https://github.com/django/django/pull/2609 documents django.setup(). Can I
haz review?

I'm not convinced it's worth duplicating that information wherever
setup_test_environment() is useful. If you hit `RuntimeError: App registry
isn't ready yet.` Google will tell you how to fix it in 10 seconds. I'll
let someone else deal with that part if you want to.

Comment:

`django.setup()` is now properly documented, so we can re-evaluate if
something needs to be done for `setup_test_environment()`.
