Docs relating to splitting test files

[Cal Leeming [Simplicity Media Ltd]]

Hello,

Please see the following discussion;

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5160688/organizing-django-unit-tests/20932450#20932450

This approach seems to work fine, but doesn't appear to be mentioned anywhere in the Django docs (or at least, I couldn't see it).

Would this be a valid candidate for a docs patch?

Hi Cal,

The 1.6 release notes document the change: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.6/#discovery-of-tests-in-any-test-module

and there's also the following paragraph about it here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/testing/overview/#writing-tests

When you run your tests, the default behavior of the test utility is to find all the test cases (that is, subclasses of unittest.TestCase) in any file whose name begins with test, automatically build a test suite out of those test cases, and run that suite.

We're assuming knowledge of Python's new standard discovery of tests, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to explain it a bit more explicitly...

Thanks for letting me know, my eyes probably glazed over that paragraph, which is my own fault for not reading the docs more carefully XD

Sorry for wasting time

Cal
