Setting up Testing with Django-Nose, Coverage, Model Mommy and Selenium

gistfile1.txt

1. Add following to requirements (recommend pip freeze after install and putting version numbers in file - ie coverage==3.7.1):
model_mommy
django-nose
coverage
selenium

2. Add Django Nose to INSTALLED APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django_nose',
    ...
)

3. Define Django Nose test runner in settings:
TEST_RUNNER = 'django_nose.NoseTestSuiteRunner'

4. Specify Django Nose run with coverage and which apps in INSTALLED_APPS to run tests:
# substitute app and account with the names of the apps you'd like tested
NOSE_ARGS = [ 
    '--with-coverage',
    '--cover-package=app,account',
]

5. If running South (django < 1.7), generally safest to disable migrations by putting this in settings (courtesy http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5798446/disable-django-south-when-running-unit-tests):
SOUTH_TESTS_MIGRATE = False

6. You're good to start testing with ./manage.py test to see coverage stats for the apps you've chosen :)
