running django tests for custom hue app

avatar

Is it possible to use the django testing framework to test a custom hue app build with the hue SDK? When I try to use the manage.py that is part of my app, I get 

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured

 errors, related to my settings.py module. But I can't seem to find a different entrypoint to try running the tests. What's the workflow for writing and running django tests for a custom hue app?

ended up just running 

hue/build/env/bin/pip install windmill

 and then 

hue/build/env/bin/hue test specific myapp.tests

 worked just fine. Seems weird that that dependency wouldn't have installed itself during `make apps`.

Anyhow, thanks for your help.

The scenario is the same as
http://gethue.com/tutorial-how-to-run-the-hue-integration-tests/, did you
do 'test specific your_app'?

Hi, thanks for your response.

 

I'd tried using the build/enve/bin/hue executable as well, but got the below stack trace. I'd just assumed that I was using it impropperly. Any idea why it would complain about missing windmill.authoring?

Great!

Weird indeed, make apps pulls dynamically some packages, maybe the repos
were down at the time.
