Another problem with tests in TG 2.3

[Christoph Zwerschke]

I found another problem when running tests for a quickstarted project
with SQLAlchemy:

The test application is only loaded in TestController.setUp() which is
only run when the test methods in tests/functional run. When you run
only the tests in tests/model, then the application is not loaded, the
config is empty and setup_db will throw an error.

I guess this problem has not been noticed in TG 2.2 because when you run
the complete test suite, tests/functional runs before tests/model, so
everything is fine, and additionally the nose plugin that was included
in Pylons made sure that the configuration was loaded before running the
tests. Since we do not use that plugin any more in TG 2.3, we should be
more careful about the proper setup. I'll refactor the test templates a
bit today to make the setup process cleaner.

That's what the other tests you found broken were supposed to prevent

Yes, I'll try to create a replacement for these as well.

Missed that as the test suite in a whole works, I should have spent more time on the devtools, apart from migrating the comands I took for granted that the other parts worked as they didn't require changes since 2.2 :/

Anyway I'm pretty sure that test_pastetemplate would have not found it anyway as it just looks for the index and login page and runs the same testsuite that is already available.

Oh, I thought that was done on purpose. I hit that problem when testing
things outside the controllers that need models to operate. I basically
copied some of the code across to make my own setup but fixing it right
would be a better idea.

It is fixed in the development branch now.
