When the test client detects a redirect to a URL seen in the
currently followed chain it will now raise a RedirectCycleError
instead of just returning the first repeated response.
It will also complain when a single chain of redirects is longer
than 20, as this often means a redirect loop with varying URLs,
and even if it's not actually one, such long chains are likely
to be treated as loops by browsers.
Thanks Preston Timmons, Berker Peksag, and Tim Graham for reviews.
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.
