Django 1.7 running tests with south in installed_apps: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_commands

[Piotr]

Hey,

I've updated my project to django 1.7 rc2 and south 1.0 and I tried to run tests and got this error:

  File "C:\Users\My Documents\Aptana Studio 3 Workspace\ba\lib\site-packages\south\management\commands\__init__.py", line 34, in patch_for_test_db_setup
    management._commands['syncdb'] = MigrateAndSyncCommand()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_commands'

Without south in installed_apps tests run correctly.

Any ideas how to get around this problem?

Hi Piotr,

South does not support Django 1.7. Please use the built-in Django migrations instead.

I thought at first that it's possible to use both at the same time :)

Could you by any chance leave a note in south docs that south won't run on 1.7 and it's not possible to use both :)?

I've put that clearly on the homepage: http://south.aeracode.org/

I did not notice that, thanks :)

Sorry, I meant to say, "I have now put that on the homepage". It wasn't there before!

When I release 1.0.1 to fix python 3 issues I will also give it a much more explicit error message that 1.7 isn't supported.
