Simple, small tagging application for Django
Yes, yes, I know. There a dozen tagging apps out there for Django, but a quick look at any of them should send you running away screaming in terror.
The tests in d51.django.apps.tagging are complete self-contained. You can
run the tests from within any Django project by executing the standard test
command:
python manage.py test tagging
You can also test directly within the repository using virtualenv and pip. The rest of this section assumes you're interested in testing in isolation, outside of a full project.
First, you must initialize a virtual environment:
virtualenv .
Next, you need to install Django (if you don't have it installed already),
which is listed in the requirements.txt file. You can install the necessary
version directly into the virtual environment using the -E . parameter:
pip install -E . -r requirements.txt
These steps can be run for you with fabric. The fabfile.py included with
this repository has been tested with 1.0a and may not be backwards compatible.
To initialize using Fabric, you can run:
fab init
You must activate the virtual environment if it contains your only copy of Django. You can do this by running:
source ./bin/activate
Your prompt should change to not that you are now running inside the virtual environment. Now you're ready to run the tests.
There are two ways to run the tests. The most straight forward with the output
you've come to expect from a Django test runner is the run_tests.py file.
Simply run:
python run_tests.py
You can also run the tests using Fabric, though the output is much more subdued.
fab test
A complete copy of Django, along with the tools necessary for virtualenv are installed using this method. Once you are finished testing, you can remove all of the generated files with Fabric by running the following command:
fab clean
Warning: You must re-run the initialization steps if in order to run the
tests again if you run the clean task.
