Running a test from other folder using manage.py

[Kim]

Hi everyone,

I have a question on unit tests.

I have manage.py file placed in the upper superlists folder and the tests.py placed in lists folder. 

I keep getting an error message saying "ImportError: No module named lists.tests”. 

Would anyone know how to access a test file from other folder using manage.py?

My Django project directory looks like below. 

superlists

  db.sqlite3

  functional_test.py

  manage.py

  lists

    __init__.py

    admin.py

    models.py

    tests.py

    views.py

  superlists

    __init__.py

    settings.py

    urls.py 

    wsgi.py

__init__.py

The error message is below:

$ python manage.py test

Creating test database for alias 'default'...

E

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

Hi,

Try running

python manage.py test lists.tests

and see if tests are running or not.

Thanks,

Hi Jimish,

Thank you for the advice. 

I figured that 

$ python manage.py test.views 

worked for me:)

Kind regards,

Kim
