Testing: @override_settings(AUTH_USER_MODEL='auth.User') no working.

[Serge G. Spaolonzi]

Hi,

I am failing to override the AUTH_USER_MODEL settings for a unittest, it throws:

"Manager isn't available; User has been swapped for 'None'"

Is it possible to override AUTH_USER_MODEL in the unittest?
My goal is to use the default user model provided by django for the test only.

Thanks

Yes, it is possible. That's why the approach is documented:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/customizing/#custom-users-and-testing-fixtures

If you're getting an error, It sounds like something else is going wrong in your test suite -- my guess would be that you haven't got the auth app in INSTALLED_APPS. However, it's impossible to say for sure without seeing more code.

Thanks, it worked.
Changing @override_settings(AUTH_USER_MODEL='auth.User') for
@override_settings(AUTH_USER_MODEL='auth.CustomUser') made the trick.
