Re: Problem with auto tests Get an error creating the test database: (1044, "Access denied for user 'viewbank_django'@'localhost' to database 'test_viewbank_django'")

Hey Jeff,

There sure is. Just specify a "TEST_NAME" key in the database configuration dictionary and you're good to go.

When I run the command - "python manage.py test polls" I get the following error - error creating the test database: (1044, "Access denied for user 'viewbank_django'@'localhost' to database 'test_viewbank_django'")

I am using a shared server that will only allow me to create a database prefixed with viewbank_.

Using the MYSQL client I can create viewbank_django_test or any variation I like as long as it starts with viewbank_.

Is there a way to change the way django names the test database?

Thanks in advance

Jeff

Thanks Ryan,

That almost worked. The first run of the test script failed with the same error, but if I create the database from the mysql client in the server control panel, the script then asks if you want to delete the database and then continues and runs the tests.

Also the test database is not destroyed by the script when it finishes running.

So while not perfect it does seem to work ok.

Again thanks

Jeff
