Django Test Database looks empty while test is runnin

问题

I have a Django project that uses local PostgreSQL server. I'm using a debugger to debug some weird bugs that I have. While the debugger is stopped on one of the tests, I tried to look at the test database. I see this new database (test_project1) and all the schemes are defined as they should be. But all tables are empty.

I know that the tables are not empty: - I used fixture and some tests already ran and returned data. - A post test created new user returned 201 status code.

And yet, I see no data when I try to access the database with pgAdmin3 or psql.

Any idea what is going on here? Is there some kind of sophisticated cash mechanism that Django uses?

回答1:

Django's TestCase is wrapping every test in its own transaction. So your database is not being used any time you do a request through ORM.
