django-mongotesting

An extension to the Django web framework that provides testing support for mongoengine dependent modules.

See http://nubits.org/post/testing-with-django-and-mongoengine/

Requirements

• Django 1.2+
• MongoEngine
• nose - https://github.com/nose-devs/nose

Usage

First, define MONGO_DATABASES and MONGO_PORT settings. Including the mongo connection bit, you should have something like this in your settings.py file:

MONGO_DATABASES = {
    # db_name, db_alias
    'fooproject': 'default', 
}
MONGO_HOST = 'localhost'
MONGO_PORT = 27017
import mongoengine
for db_name, db_alias in MONGO_DATABASES.items():
    mongoengine.connect(MONGO_DATABASE_NAME, host=MONGO_HOST, port=MONGO_PORT)

If you would like a test mongo db created and destroyed for each test method in a class then inherit the MongoTestCase class from the mongotesting module.

If you would like a test mongo db created and destroyed for each test class, then define the TEST_RUNNER setting to use MongoTestRunner, as follows:

TEST_RUNNER = 'mongotesting.MongoTestRunner'
