Make tests pass on Django==1.7

[rockymeza]

The code seems to work as far as I can tell.

I get this error:

This will no longer be supported in Django 1.9.

This is because our manage.py is importing models (225e89f) before django is set up. I added a django.setup() line in manage.py to see if that would do anything, and now I get this error:

django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such table: auth_customuser

[pipermerriam]

Why are those lines there in the first place?

You could potentially sidestep this by creating an app that is only installed during test runs and put that monkepatch code in the models.py file. Then it'll still run during setup.

[gavinwahl]

They're needed to run the tests on django 1.6. I don't remember exactly why, maybe @rockymeza does.

[gavinwahl]

It was issue #12

[rockymeza]

I profoundly do not understand what happened in #12.

[rockymeza]

I also get the auth_customuser error and I don't know where it's coming from. I think that maybe it's time we stop relying on the built-in tests.

[rockymeza]

My stuff is in the 1.7-support branch, but I'm stuck on the same error as @gavinwahl was.

[gavinwahl]

The django.contrib.auth tests have their own models, but where are the migrations? How do those models get created in django's tests? I think that part is just getting skipped when we run the tests.

[acatton]

@gavinwahl @rockymeza This models get created without migrations in Django tests à la syncdb. I spend 2 hours reading and understanding django's code. I finally found the obvious line. I committed a fix in 1.7-support: 280c5dd .

You can run the tests, but they don't pass. I'm still working on it.
