Nosetests. maximum recursion depth exceeded

[Oleg Oltar]

Hi!

I am creating one of my firsts django projects. I created nose tests to cover my application and got 100% code coverage

My repo is git://github.com/oltarasenko/usermanaging.git

Now I am trying to modify my project to make settings be platform independent. So I added following lines 

to my settings.py:

# Django settings for loginregister project.

import os.path

import sys

PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.normpath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

DATABASE_NAME = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'users.db')  # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.

ROOT_URLCONF = 'urls'

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (

    # Put strings here, like "/home/html/django_templates" or "C:/www/django/templates".

    # Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.

    # Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.

    os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'templates')

)

INSTALLED_APPS = (

    'django.contrib.auth',

    'django.contrib.contenttypes',

    'django.contrib.admin',

    'django.contrib.sessions',

    'django.contrib.sites',

    'loginreg'

    )

Now when I run my application everything seems to work! Everything but my nosetests which returns long trace for me

which contains one line (displayed many times):

    sub_match = pattern.resolve(new_path)

  File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/django/core/urlresolvers.py", line 181, in resolve

    sub_match = pattern.resolve(new_path)

  File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/django/core/urlresolvers.py", line 181, in resolve

    sub_match = pattern.resolve(new_path)

  File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/django/core/urlresolvers.py", line 179, in resolve

    for pattern in self.urlconf_module.urlpatterns:

RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

(I use: beryl:db_settings oleg$ nosetests --cover-package=loginreg --with-coverage    to run tests)

Could anyone suggest why I am getting it?

Thanks,

Oleg

Is something doing a 301 redirection to itself, possibly?

Why it worked before I tried to change settings.py? Why actually site works?

Maybe something is in my tests?

Btw, my code organized this way:

/proj

   urls.py

   settings

  ./app

      tests.py

      urls.py

As I changed the project name I also hacked the tests file so now it contains following:

import os

import re

os.environ['PYTHNONPATH'] = '$PYTHONPATH:$PWD'

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings'  # Is this correct?

I presume that the second line is incorrect. Where it looks for the settings?

[Oleg Oltar]

Seems no :(

I tried to manually specify correct path

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'db_settings.settings'

but have same issue :(

(NOTE, i didn't create it with startpoject command, I just cloned project from repo. May it help to understand the issue?)

[Oleg Oltar]

Well seems I found the solution. I just moved the project folder in my repo (so now we have repo->myproject), so the name myproject will not change after cloning, and now it all works

Any idea why?
