My goal is to have Django initialising the test (python manage.py test<br>
<appname>), instead of trial, as it will setup the whole test environment<br>
(I.e. Creates a db copy, allows per-model testing, follows certain<br>
conventions, etc).<br><br>
As to that I'm trying to find a way how to start/stop the reactor from the<br>
test, as trial is not executed.<br>
Do you have an idea or an approach how this could be realised?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The functionality to start/stop the reactor when a test returns a Deferred is part of twisted.trial.unittest.TestCase, which subclasses Python's unittest.TestCase. As a result you don't need to use the trial command-line tool, you can use any Python test runner that knows about Python's TestCase; just make sure to subclass twisted.trial.unittest.TestCase, and your test will support running the reactor for you when you return a Deferred. </div><div><br></div><div>Or, if possible, you can avoid using the reactor at all; some approaches (as mentioned by Jean-Paul) are described in the trial documentation: <a href="http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/trial.html">http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/trial.html</a></div></div><div><br></div>-- <br>Itamar Turner-Trauring, Future Foundries LLC<br><a href="http://futurefoundries.com/" target="_blank">http://futurefoundries.com/</a> — Twisted consulting, training and support.<br>
