我可以在 pycharm 社区版中运行 Django 测试吗？

Question

I have a Django project with a bunch of tests that I have just imported into PyCharm. I managed to get it configured so that I can run the server and that works fine but now I want to run the tests as well. I have tried to create a Path based Test Configuration and given the manage.py path and the test command as well as my settings file as parameters but I get the following cryptic error message:

Testing started at 10:12 ...
/Users/jonathan/anaconda/bin/python "/Applications/PyCharm CE.app/Contents/helpers/pycharm/_jb_unittest_runner.py" --path /Users/jonathan/Work/GenettaSoft/modeling-web/modeling/manage.py -- test --settings=Modeling.settings.tests
Launching unittests with arguments python -m unittest /Users/jonathan/Work/GenettaSoft/modeling-web/modeling/manage.py test --settings=Modeling.settings.tests in /Users/jonathan/Work/GenettaSoft/modeling-web/modeling

usage: python -m unittest [-h] [-v] [-q] [--locals] [-f] [-c]
                          [tests [tests ...]]
python -m unittest: error: unrecognized arguments: --settings=Modeling.settings.tests

Process finished with exit code 2
Empty test suite.

It must be running things in the wrong way somehow. Can this not be done at all?

Ps. I found Running Django tests in PyCharm but it does not seem related at all (much older version?), cause I get different errors and things look very different.

Answer 1

You can use standard python configuration, not python unittest for django tests. Just add new python run/debug configuration, select manage.py as file and specify parameters test --settings=Modeling.settings.tests .

Answer 2

You can also edit PyCharm's test runner helper script. For me it is located /opt/JetBrains/PyCharm/plugins/python-ce/helpers/pycharm/_jb_nosetest_runner.py . Then do import django and immediately after the main entry point do django.setup() . I have included the entire file from my machine for completeness.

# coding=utf-8
import re

import nose
import sys 
import django

from _jb_runner_tools import jb_start_tests, jb_patch_separator, jb_doc_args, JB_DISABLE_BUFFERING
from teamcity.nose_report import TeamcityReport

if __name__ == '__main__':
    django.setup()
    path, targets, additional_args = jb_start_tests()
    sys.argv += [path] if path else jb_patch_separator(targets, fs_glue="/", python_glue=".", fs_to_python_glue=".py:")
    sys.argv += additional_args
    if JB_DISABLE_BUFFERING and "-s" not in sys.argv:
        sys.argv += ["-s"]
    jb_doc_args("Nosetest", sys.argv)
    sys.exit(nose.main(addplugins=[TeamcityReport()]))

Then you can right click any test in the Project tool window and click Run test . You can also right any directory where unit tests file are and click Run Unittests in tests .

NOTE: you will need to make sure all required environment variables on added to the Run Configuration before running unit tests.
