Use session DB backend in manage.py to ease test

[yakky]

cache backend is pretty frustrating for testing the cms using the integrated manage.py. This changes the session backend to db

[yakky]

@mkoistinen @czpython what's your opinion?

[czpython]

I don't think this would have side-effects so lgtm 👍

[yakky]

@czpython no effect when using an installed version of the CMS as manage.py it's not included

[yakky]

@ojii any reason for that setting in the first place? (performance during tests, maybe?)

Note: I currently don't have acces to a real dev env, so I'm working off GH/memory here

IIRC django-app-manage doesn't set SESSION_ENGINE. however, using cache instead of db generally results in faster session performance. can you elaborate on the "cache backend is pretty frustrating for testing"?

[ojii]

Oh, you mean why set it in manage.py in django CMS, not app-manage. Again, working in a somewhat suboptimal env right now, so please apologize. I think it's because it was always set to that and/or because cache backend will be faster (especially when testing postgres/mysql). I'm still curious as to what makes using db sessions easier for testing.

[mkoistinen]

No opinion here. LGTM.

@ojii bad wording on my side. I meant that session cache backend is frustrating when manually testing (ie: using manage.py runserver from cms source root.
Coupled with locmem cache, it means you're logged out whenever runserver is reloaded.

@ojii @czpython @mkoistinen pushing a better approach

okay that makes sense. the patch as it is now seems fine.
