Description
Problem
I have a Django(1.8) project running 2 applications: App1, App2. Both of the applications run with their own databases: app1db and app2db, sharing the defaultdb for users and groups. I am trying to integrate pytest-django as part of the unit testing. This is where I am hitting with problem as Pytest do not support multiple databases.
My use case is I would be needing the unit tests only on app1 and I am pretty much sure I won't be needing it on app2. And I can mock my users and groups objects from defaultdb for this unit tests and I won't be needing access to defaultdb. But the problem is I always see the unit tests access the defaultdb and I don't see a way of making the app1db accessible from unit test cases. When I try to access any object form app1db, I get the following error:
E ProgrammingError: relation "app1_table" does not exist E LINE 1: INSERT INTO "app1_table" ("field1", "field2", "... E ^
Database Settings
{
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'USER': 'postgres',
'NAME': 'defaultdb',
'PASSWORD': 'pass',
'HOST': localhost,
},
'app1': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'NAME': 'app1db',
'USER': 'postgres',
'PASSWORD': 'pass',
'HOST': localhost,
},
"app2": {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'NAME': 'app2db',
'USER': 'postgres',
'PASSWORD': 'pass',
'HOST': localhost,
},How do I make my pytest just look for app1db ignoring all other DBs?
