Django Testing Framework in the Works
I didn’t know this was in the pipe.
It looks like it has some work yet, but it’s good to know it’s coming. I made a few smallish attempts to use the Unittest framework to test my Django apps, but ended up giving up. It was a little frustrating, especially after working with the slick as hell Rails testing suite.
I’m really very glad to see an integrated Django-centric testing suite coming soon.
The framework’s actually pretty complete now; the only real missing feature is some sort of fixture support (though honestly I think they’re more icing than cake).
I’ve put up some preliminary documentation to get you started: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/testing/. Give it a shot — I’m really happy with the way it turned out!
