Issue with running a custom unit test on a local tom_base

[KKruszynska]

I wanted to run a custom unit test on a module from tom_base/tom_alerts (a customized TNS broker to be exact). I ran all unit test available using ./manage.py test tom_alerts.tests

I ran into this issue:

(my_tom_env) katarzyna@KKruszynska-lt:~/my_tom/tom_base$ ./manage.py test tom_alerts.tests
Found 41 test(s).

I assume I have to install the 'faker' and the 'factory' libraries, but I assumed they would be recorded in the requirements file.

I solved this issue with installing faker and factory_boy.
