Run/Debug Configuration: Django Test

Target

Specify the target to be executed. If the field is left empty, it means that all the tests in all the applications specified in INSTALLED_APPS will be executed.

• If you want to run tests in a certain application, specify the application name.

• To run a specific test case, specify its name after the application name, delimited with a dot.

• To run a single test method within a test case, add the test method name after dot.

Same rules apply to the doctests contained in the test targets. The test label is used as the path to the test method or class to be executed. If there is function with a doctest, or a class with a class-level doctest, you can invoke that test by appending the name of the test method or class to the label.

Custom settings

If this checkbox is selected, Django test will run with the specified custom settings, rather than with the default ones.

Specify the fully qualified name of the file that contains Django settings. You can either type it manually, in the text field to the right, or click the browse button, and select one in the dialog that opens.

If this checkbox is not selected, Django test will run with the default settings, defined in the Settings field of the Django page. The text field is disabled.

Options
