Question

I’ve just split one django app into two – it was getting too unfocused and the separation was the best way forward.

However… one of my models now references a model in my newly split off app with a ForeignKey relation.

Now when I run my tests they fail because the test suite isn’t creating the models in the split off app.

django.db.utils.DatabaseError: relation "blah" does not exist

When i run the test with verbose = 2 I see that it’s not bothering to create those tables. How do I force the test to create these extra tables?

It creates the auth tables, some other core django tables and south_migrationhistory – and looking at the south code, I can’t see where/how it’s making sure it gets created on testing!

Any clues?

Thanks

Make sure your new app is included in your INSTALLED_APPS setting.
