Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

  • python.djangoTestRunner.djangoNose: if checked will use django-nose syntax for running class/method tests inside a file, defaults to non-nose testing syntax
  • python.djangoTestRunner.flags: any flags you wish to run such as --nocapture, also useful for specifying different settings if you use a modified manage.py
  • python.djangoTestRunner.prefixCommand: any command(s) to be directly before the main test command e.g. "cd ~/Projects/hello-world/src &&" to cd into the directory containing your manage.py
  • python.djangoTestRunner.manageFilePath: manage.py file path relative to workspace. Also works if you user a custom file e.g manage.sh which receives the test params
  • python.djangoTestRunner.rootPackageName: the name of the root package of your application. Can be used in conjunciton with prefixCommand to remove the root package name from test file paths.
    • e.g. if prefixCommand is set to "cd ~/Projects/hello-world/src &&", your django project structure may raise errors if test paths are specified with src.apps.app_name.tests.
    • setting this to "rootPackageName": "src" will cause file paths to return in the format apps.app_name.tests, which has the root packed (src) removed from the test path
