This (nearly) completes the work to isolate all the test modules from
each other. This is now more important as importing models from another
module will case PendingDeprecationWarnings if those modules are not in
INSTALLED_APPS. The only remaining obvious dependencies are:
- d.c.auth depends on d.c.admin (because of the is_admin flag to some
views), but this is not so important and d.c.admin is in
always_installed_apps
- test_client_regress depends on test_client. Eventually these should
become a single module, as the split serves no useful purpose.
Validating STATIC_ROOT in StaticFilesStorage.__init__ turned out to be
problematic - especially with tests - because the storage refuses to work even
if there are no actual interactions with the file system, which is backward
incompatible.
Originally the validation happened in the StaticFilesStorage.path method, but
that didn't work as expected because the call to FileSystemStorage.__init__
replaced the empty value by a valid path. The new approach is to move back the
check to the StaticFilesStorage.path method, but ensure that the location
attribute remains None after the call to super.
Refs #21581.
When STATIC_ROOT wasn't set, collectstatic --clear would delete
every files within the current directory and its descendants.
This patch makes the following changes:
Prevent collectstatic from running if STATIC_ROOT isn't set.
Fixed an issue that prevented collectstatic from displaying the
destination directory.
Changed the warning header to notify when the command is run
in dry-run mode.
Now that the refactorings are complete, it isn't particularly useful any
more, nor very well named. Let's keep the API as simple as possible.
Fixed#21689.
Since it triggers imports, it shouldn't be done lightly.
This commit adds a public API for doing it explicitly, django.setup(),
and does it automatically when using manage.py and wsgi.py.
Thanks Florian for isolating the shortest way to reproduce this issue:

Returning None on errors required unpythonic error checking and was
inconsistent with get_app_config.
get_model was a private API until the previous commit, but given that it
was certainly used in third party software, the change is explained in
the release notes.
Applied the same change to get_registered_model, which is a new private
API introduced during the recent refactoring.
ContentTypes are only created for installed applications, and I could
make a case for not returning a model that isn't installed any more.
The check for stale ContentTypes in update_contenttypes doesn't use
model_class.
ModelSignal actually needs get_registered_model since the lookup happens
at import time. I took this opportunity to perform a small refactoring.
* Introduced [un]set_installed_apps to handle changes to the
INSTALLED_APPS setting.
* Refactored [un]set_available_apps to share its implementation
with [un]set_installed_apps.
* Implemented a receiver to clear some app-related caches.
* Removed test_missing_app as it is basically impossible to reproduce
this situation with public methods of the new app cache.
It was called _populate() before I renamed it to populate(). Since it
has been superseded by populate_models() there's no reason to keep it.
Removed the can_postpone argument of load_app() as it was only used by
populate(). It's a private API and there's no replacement. Simplified
load_app() accordingly. Then new version behaves exactly like the old
one even though it's much shorter.
