Other notesΒΆ

  • Should it be necessary to clean the Django permissions table, run

    Permission.objects.all().delete()

    This deletes all permissions. Once makemigrations and migrate are run, only the premissions for tables which are present are rebuilt.

  • In order to have an interactive shell, install iPython in the virtual environment (not system wide).

  • The command for running tests with Coverage.py is

    coverage run manage.py test && coverage report -m

    Note that the tests are run with DEBUG=False, which means that the CSS and JS files are only searched for in the directory specified by STATIC_ROOT. Thus, it is in general necessary to run

    ./manage.py collectstatic

    before running the tests. In order to save time and not rebuild the test database every time, use the --keepdb flag with ./manage.py test.
