Django tests namespace error

[Danil Galeev]

Hi guys,

I have django 1.6.1 project which uses django rest framework and I work around building api. I covered api calls by unittests and I have one problem.

Application name is 'api' and all tests are passed when I run tests using command:

python manage.py test api

But when I run all project tests without specifying application name, tests are failing with error 

======================================================================

ERROR: test_get_contract_list (someproj.api.tests.ContractAPITestCase)

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

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/home/user/Projects/someproj/api/tests.py", line 44, in test_get_contract_list

    url = reverse('api:rest_api_contracts')

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/urlresolvers.py", line 505, in reverse

    key)

NoReverseMatch: u'api' is not a registered namespace

In my tests I'm using 'reverse' method from django.core.urlresolvers for getting urls for tests, for example:

url = reverse('api:rest_api_contracts')

In my root urlconf I have this pattern:

url(r'^api/', include('someproj.api.urls', namespace='api')),

and in my application urlconf:

url(r'^contracts/$', views.ContractListAPIView.as_view(), name='rest_api_contracts'),

So, why tests are failed when I run it without specifying app name? 

Method 'reverse' works fine when I run tests with application name as parameter and works fine in shell as well.
