library0.6pypypiunverified

Disables Django migrations when running tests, significantly speeding up test runs by using the current model state instead of running migrations. Version 0.6 is the latest, with no recent updates. Use it to avoid migration overhead in CI or local testing.

Verified usage

TestWithoutMigrationsMixin

✓ from test_without_migrations import TestWithoutMigrationsMixin

✗ from django_test_without_migrations import TestWithoutMigrationsMixin

Two usage patterns: setting TEST_RUNNER globally, or mixing into individual test classes.

# settings.py TEST_RUNNER = 'django_test_without_migrations.DjangoTestSuiteRunner' # Or use as a mixin in a test class: from django.test import TestCase from django_test_without_migrations import TestWithoutMigrationsMixin class MyTestCase(TestWithoutMigrationsMixin, TestCase): def test_something(self): self.assertTrue(True)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaDisabling migrations means tables are created directly from models. Ensure your models match the expected schema, as any missing migrations (like field additions) will not be applied. This can mask migration bugs.

fix

Run tests with migrations periodically (e.g., on CI) to catch migration issues.

affects: all

deprecatedDjango 1.10+ deprecates the pattern of overriding TEST_RUNNER with a custom runner. The mixin approach is recommended for newer Django versions.

fix

Use the mixin 'TestWithoutMigrationsMixin' instead of setting TEST_RUNNER if using Django 1.10+.

affects: 0.6

gotchaIf you have multiple databases, the TEST_RUNNER may not handle them correctly. You might need to extend the runner to support additional database aliases.

fix

Write a custom test runner that inherits from DjangoTestSuiteRunner and overrides setup_databases.

affects: all
