Python 使用django.test.client测试应用程序http请求，获取错误

我们开始为我们的API（使用Django Rest框架创建）编写单元测试。我们决定从简单开始，使用内置的unittest和django.test.client类。我已经编写了一个测试的存根，它运行得很好：

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from __future__ import absolute_import
import unittest

# from django.test.client import Client

class TestGrowth(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        # self.client = Client()
        pass

    def test_numbers_3_4(self):
        self.assertEqual(4, 4, True)

    def test_strings_a_3(self):
        self.assertEqual('andy', 'andy', True)


def suite():
    suite = unittest.TestSuite()

    # Add test cases to suite
    suite.addTests(unittest.makeSuite(TestGrowth))

    return suite

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Run test suite
    unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(suite())

但是，只要我取消注释从django.test.client import client读取的

行，我就会得到一个错误：

    % (desc, ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE))
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting DATABASES, but settings are not configured.
You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.

我使用下面的命令
python./AccountGrowth.py
从vagrant shell内部运行测试

有人能解释一下为什么会发生这种情况吗？
您没有通过Django的测试运行程序运行测试，它为您设置了所有这些。如果

块或它对

run（）

的显式调用是

，那么您不需要
，并且您应该通过
/manage.py test
Daniel运行您的测试……目标是将它们作为大型套件的一部分运行，但我刚刚开始单元测试。当我尝试使用
/manage.py test
从项目的根目录运行它时，它的行为似乎不一样。
if "DATABASE_URL" in os.environ:
    # Parse database configuration from $DATABASE_URL
    DATABASES = {
        'default': dj_database_url.config()
    }
else:
    DATABASES = {
        'default': {
            'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',  # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
            'NAME': 'emmasocial',                  # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.

        }
    }
