In my django project, I'm having trouble testing my homemade app named "messages". If I write a single test in messages/tests.py and try to run it with python manage.py test messages, it will perform 74 tests from, I guess, the django.contrib.messages library.
How can I run my local app tests instead of the library one without renaming it? All other tests for my apps with other names run fine.
You need to make sure your application appears in your settings.py INSTALLED_APPS before django.contrib.messages does.
