Django Setuptest Recipe
Recipe to prevent django-setuptest from polluting module being tested with downloaded eggs.
Contents
Motivation
django-setuptest downloads eggs required for a test run and places them in the
module directory. For example, if the module to be tested is called foo
then the command python setup.py test causes src/foo to be polluted
with many eggs. There is currently no way to instruct setuptools to store these
eggs in another location.
django-setuptest-recipe addresses this shortcoming by wrapping the Python
interpreter to be aware of egg locations.
Usage
Add the following to your buildout.cfg:
parts=
...
setuptest-runner
[setuptest-runner]
recipe = django-setuptest-recipe
eggs = ${buildout:eggs}
An executable file called setuptest-runner is created in the bin
directory. You can now do /path/to/instance/bin/setuptest-runner setup.py
test from within the src/foo directory.
