Question

I’m triyng to tests some GAE models with nose and noseGAE plugin.

The tutorials show how to run the test using the webapp framework setup like in this tutorial
http://farmdev.com/projects/nosegae/ . But since I’m using django, my main.py is:

import os

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings'

import django.core.handlers.wsgi
app = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

When I try to run nose:

$ nosetests --with-gae

I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Python27\Scripts\nosetests-script.py", line 8, in <module>
    load_entry_point('nose==1.2.1', 'console_scripts', 'nosetests')()
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\nose-1.2.1-py2.7.egg\nose\core.py", line 118, in __init__
    **extra_args)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\unittest\main.py", line 94, in __init__
    self.parseArgs(argv)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\nose-1.2.1-py2.7.egg\nose\core.py", line 135, in parseArgs

  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\nose-1.2.1-py2.7.egg\nose\config.py", line 338, in configure
    self.plugins.configure(options, self)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\nose-1.2.1-py2.7.egg\nose\plugins\manager.py", line 284, in configure
    cfg(options, config)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\nose-1.2.1-py2.7.egg\nose\plugins\manager.py", line 99, in __call__
    return self.call(*arg, **kw)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\nose-1.2.1-py2.7.egg\nose\plugins\manager.py", line 167, in simple
    result = meth(*arg, **kw)
  File "build\bdist.win32\egg\nosegae.py", line 80, in configure
ImportError: No module named dev_appserver

I thought that it was because the django dependencies, bu next i tried to run a single file:

import unittest
from google.appengine.ext import testbed

class TestServicios(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUP(self):
        self.testbed = testbed.Testbed()
        self.testbed.activate()
        self.testbed.init_datastore_v3_stub()

    def tearDown(self):
        self.testbed.deactivate()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

Then:

$ python test_models.py

And:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_models.py", line 2, in <module>
    from google.appengine.ext import testbed
ImportError: No module named google.appengine.ext

GAE info
release: 1.7.3
runtime: python27

Somebody knows what is going on here? Thanks.

I recommend this documentation. It shows an example how you can write a testrunner.py to load your test class, so you can have a mini test framework. Specifically, the following code is what you are looking for:

sys.path.insert(0, sdk_path)
import dev_appserver
dev_appserver.fix_sys_path()

sdk_path is where your google_appengine sdk is located at. For instance, it could be /usr/local/google_appengine on linux.
