Database error: Table 'test_XXX.django_content_type' doesn't exist

[girish shabadimath]

Hi all,

im using django 1.2

there are two databases involved in my project (default and XYZ (used only for migration))

i use a consistant MySQL storage type for all apps, all models (including m2m).

This is done by registering a post-syncdb  signal in management.py file which converts all tables to innodb.

(code partially taken from: http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/AlterModelOnSyncDB )

(Description of management.py magic is at http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Signals)

i wrote few tests for one of my application,

when i run ./manage.py test following error occurs:

DatabaseError: (1146, "Table 'test_XXX.django_content_type' doesn't exist")

any clues?

I wager if you do a syncdb to another database (as test is doing for
you) you'll find that the table 'django_content_type' does indeed not
exist. Possibly because you don't have 'django.contrib.contenttypes'
in INSTALLED_APPS.
