Django test discovery and RuntimeError: Conflicting 'entry_tags' models in application 'entries': <class ' entries.models.Entry_tags'> and <class 'src.apps.entries.models.Entry_tags'>.

Hello!

I've written on that topic here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26688775/django-cant-discover-tests-correctly

What I discovered is:
- unittest.loader ignores directories which are provided manually in settings to sys.path
- unittest.loader requires __init__.py in a directory to look there for tests

When __init__.py is in apps directory then I am getting a:

RuntimeError: Conflicting 'entry_tags' models in application 'entries': <class '
entries.models.Entry_tags'> and <class 'src.apps.entries.models.Entry_tags'>.

How do I resolve this?

I did a simple workaround for this.

but in my opinion it should get fixed somehow without workarounds :)

Hello,

The problem is that both D:\projekty\ogloszenia and D:\projekty\ogloszenia\src\apps are on your python path.

The recommended way to do it is to import all of your code relative to manage.py and only have that directory on your python path, so in your case, that would be:

src.apps.entries.models.Entry_tags

src.project.settings

Or, in your case it may make sense to put the manage.py in your src folder, making it:

apps.entries.models.Entry_tags

project.settings

If you don't want the "apps" prefix on your apps, you may want to consider moving them up one level and removing the apps directory.
