DJANGO can't delete a user from django.contrib.auth.models when running functional test

I have not been able to execute the deletion of any User that is created during test while tearDown() methods are run. Error is puzzling, as it suggest no models are loaded.

have tried the following:

User.objects.filter(id__in=users_to_remove).delete()
User.objects.filter(username='testuser2').delete()

And both return the same error message.

Does anyone know what is the propper way to delete a user from the testing file?

Error Message Returned: Erorr Message returned in terminal

Solution

  • You need to call django.setup() after setting the environment variable. 

    # Set up django
import os
import sys
import django
project_dir = abspath(dirname(dirname(__file__)))
sys.path.insert(0, project_dir)
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'slapp.settings'
django.setup()
