Django and Lettuce tutorial

[Ruslan Osipov]

Hi,

Django integration tutorial on Lettuce web site was not very comprehensive and did not cover some cases (like running tests against test DB as opposed to a production database), so I wrote a tutorial which has higher Django coverage than the original:

Feedback is very welcome.

I would recommend set LETTUCE_USE_TEST_DATABASE to  True always instead of use the flag -T...

Thank you Michel, added that to the tutorial.

I am trying to use lettuce with django, i have to make an object of model fields(like i used to do in unit testing) and i have around 8-fields in my model, how can i give argument from "zero.feature" to "step.py" file ????

Doesn’t make a lot of sense, code?

Can't i use lettuce to make model instances??

[Ruslan Osipov]

Yes you can, you can share code if you need help.

lets assume i have the following fields in my model;

a = models.CharField(max_length=128)
b = models.EmailField(verbose_name = "B *")
c = models.CharField(max_length=128, verbose_name = "C *")
d = models.CharField(max_length=128, verbose_name = "D *")
e = models.CharField(max_length=128, verbose_name = "E *")
f = models.CharField(max_length=30, verbose_name = "F *")
g = models.CharField(max_length=8, verbose_name = "G *")
h = models.CharField(max_length=8, verbose_name = "H *"

and i have to make its model instance in lettuce. how can i achieve that????

That is not a lettuce question. You just instantiate it as usual: Model(a=1, b=2, c=3, **kwargs).
