Test setup error #17

Closed expobrain closed 10 years ago

expobrain commented 10 years ago

Following the instructions of how to setup a developer's environment and running the unit tests raises this error on python setup.py test:

_____ ERROR collecting djangorestframework-2.3.14-py2.7.egg/rest_framework/tests/test_authentication.py __ djangorestframework-2.3.14-py2.7.egg/rest_framework/tests/test_authentication.py:2: in

I'm not sure if it's some step missing in the docs or some problem on my virtualenv

You mean from this page [1]?

That page was generated from cookiecutter-pypackage and I don't usually use those directions. Let me try it from a fresh virtualenv and later today or tomorrow I'll make it more accurate.

In the meantime the simplest thing is to just pip install -r requirements.txt from the project folder in your virtualenv.

Yes, I followed those steps, especially:

$ mkvirtualenv drf_compound_fields $ pip install -r requirements.txt $ python setup.py test

estebistec commented 10 years ago

I added a missing dependency in setup.py and now the default instructions do work as-is.

I was able to just use requirements.txt before that fix and get passing tests, but this gets setup.py where it should be.
