How do I see stdout when running Django tests?
Checked TEST_RUNNER
in settings.py
, it's using a project-specific runner that calls out to Nose. Nose has the -s
option to stop it from capturing stdout
, but if I run:
./manage.py test -s
manage.py
captures it first and throws a "no such option" error. The help for manage.py
doesn't mention this, but I found that if I run:
./manage.py test -- -s
it ignores the -s
and lets me capture it on the custom runner's side, passing it to Nose without a problem.
Yeah, this issue is caused by NoseTestSuiteRunner
. Adding -- -s
is tricky and not the best solution.
Try to add the following lines in the settings.py
:
NOSE_ARGS = ['--nocapture',
'--nologcapture',]
This solved my problems.
Using current versions of all the relevant packages (Django==1.11.2
, django-nose==1.4.5
and nose==1.3.7
) it is sufficient to add the --nocapture
flag when running your tests. Thus a simple
./manage.py test --nocapture
will suffice.
Granted of course that you have
TEST_RUNNER = "django_nose.NoseTestSuiteRunner"
in your settings.py
