When django.setup() (and then configure_logging) is called inside
catch_warnings, logging setup is negatively affected (notably
warnings.showwarning definition).
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.
Adjusted several tests that used it to add apps to the app cache and
then attempted to remove them by manipulating attributes directly.
Also renamed invalid_models to invalid_models_tests to avoid clashing
application labels between the outer and the inner invalid_models
applications.
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has been superseded by populate_models() there's no reason to keep it.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.
Added comments in the three empty models.py files that are still needed.
Adjusted the test runner to add applications corresponding to test
labels to INSTALLED_APPS even when they don't have a models module.
Several parts of Django call get_apps() with a comment along this lines
of "this has the side effect of calling _populate()". I fail to see how
this is better than just calling populate()!
Since the original ones in django.db.models.loading were kept only for
backwards compatibility, there's no need to recreate them. However, many
internals of Django still relied on them.
They were also imported in django.db.models. They never appear in the
documentation, except a quick mention of get_models and get_app in the
1.2 release notes to document an edge case in GIS. I don't think that
makes them a public API.
This commit doesn't change the overall amount of global state but
clarifies that it's tied to the app_cache object instead of hiding it
behind half a dozen functions.
1. Automatically use tests/../django as the Django version.
2. If settings aren't provided through --settings or DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE)
then use test_sqlite.
With the new test discovery system, gis tests are discovered as
other tests. They should be properly skipped now when dependencies
are missing. So let's stop special casing their inclusion.
Thanks to Preston Timmons for the bulk of the work on the patch, especially
updating Django's own test suite to comply with the requirements of the new
runner. Thanks also to Jannis Leidel and Mahdi Yusuf for earlier work on the
patch and the discovery runner.
