django test app error - Got an error creating the test database: permission denied to create database

Question

When I try to test any app with command (I noticed it when I tried to deploy myproject using fabric, which uses this command):

python manage.py test appname
         


        

Answer 1

A superuser account is the easiest way to guarantee smooth testing. so a simpler way of making the django user su is to do ALTER django WITH SUPERUSER .
