Missing Table When Running Django Unittest with Sqlite3

Question

I\'m trying to run a unittest with Django 1.3. Normally, I use MySQL as my database backend, but since this is painfully slow to spinup for a single unittest, I\'m using Sql

Answer 1

I had this problem, too. Turned out that I had to add a TEST_NAME property in the settings.py file to identify the test database properly. It solved the problem for me:

if 'test' in sys.argv:
    DATABASES = {
        'default': {
            'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
            'NAME': os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'test.db'),
            'TEST_NAME': os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'test.db'),
       }
    }
