djngo unittest to use "real" database.

[django-newbie]

Hi All,

I am currently writing test cases for views, Which eventually uses database also.
By default a test database is being created and removed after test are run.

As the database itself is development database, I don't want my test to create a separate db but use exciting only.

Also I will like to bring to your notice, that in my environment, database are created and provided and django can't run migration or create database.

Regards,

Arjit

A refreshed database is most likely what you want for testing. There are
ways of retaining the test database between tests but I never do that.
On the rare occasion I want it to "persist" I run a number of assertions
in the same test. Much easier.

You will need to dump existing data into fixtures and load that for testing

Maybe you should relocate your development work to a friendlier
environment and figure out a mechanism for deploying changes back to the
production environment.

Otherwise approach your sysadmin and ask for the appropriate resourcing.

Good luck
