Django 1.4 says: "There are no database specifications. Indicate the path to at least one instrument on the command line."

Question

while all tests complete without errors, and the instruments actually boot. Is this a Django 1.4 issue?

Please note that only some of the applications cause this error message (there is no fundamental difference between unit tests of applications and their corresponding devices).

Update 1: contents of fasttest.py:

DATABASES = {'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', 'NAME': ':memory:', } } ~/django_project$ ./manage.py test appname --traceback --settings=fasttest Creating test database for alias 'default'... .....................No database fixture specified. Please provide the path of at least one fixture in the command line. . ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 22 tests in 8.426s OK Destroying test database for alias 'default'... 

Update 2: obviously comments, although I am grateful for the attempts, these are only shots in the dark. The database does not matter, neither SQLite3 nor Postgres test databases solve the problem.

Answer 1

I had the same problem with test devices that worked perfectly under 1.4.

For me, I had one test scenario in which I did not use the device, and therefore I installed the devices in an empty kit as follows:

 class MyTestCase(TestCase): fixtures = [] 

When I commented on this line, the error disappeared:

 class MyTestCase(TestCase): # fixtures = []
