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
Just to add another case to this:
If you are trying to upgrade to 1.8 from 1.6 (or from a non-migration setup to a migration setup), you might hit this error if you haven't run created migrations.
I had the same problem and had to create migrations so the test runner could use them, which was not intuitive because pre-migrations, the tests would just make a new DB based on doing syncdb, which always worked.
