This patch does not remove all occurrences of the words in question. Rather, I went through all of the occurrences of the words listed below, and judged if they a) suggested the reader had some kind of knowledge/experience, and b) if they added anything of value (including tone of voice, etc). I left most of the words alone. I looked at the following words: - simply/simple - easy/easier/easiest - obvious - just - merely - straightforward - ridiculous Thanks to Carlton Gibson for guidance on how to approach this issue, and to Tim Bell for providing the idea. But the enormous lion's share of thanks go to Adam Johnson for his patient and helpful review.

Testing GeoDjango apps
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Included in this documentation are some additional notes and settings
|
|
for :ref:`testing-postgis` users.

PostGIS
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Settings
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The settings below have sensible defaults, and shouldn't require manual setting.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: POSTGIS_VERSION
|
|
|
|
``POSTGIS_VERSION``
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
When GeoDjango's spatial backend initializes on PostGIS, it has to perform
|
|
an SQL query to determine the version in order to figure out what
|
|
features are available. Advanced users wishing to prevent this additional
|
|
query may set the version manually using a 3-tuple of integers specifying
|
|
the major, minor, and micro version numbers for PostGIS. For example,
|
|
to configure for PostGIS X.Y.Z you would use::
|
|
|
|
POSTGIS_VERSION = (X, Y, Z)
|
|
|
|
Obtaining sufficient privileges
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Depending on your configuration, this section describes several methods to
|
|
configure a database user with sufficient privileges to run tests for
|
|
GeoDjango applications on PostgreSQL. If your
|
|
:ref:`spatial database template <spatialdb_template>`
|
|
was created like in the instructions, then your testing database user
|
|
only needs to have the ability to create databases. In other configurations,
|
|
you may be required to use a database superuser.
|
|
|
|
Create database user
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
To make a database user with the ability to create databases, use the
|
|
following command::
|
|
|
|
$ createuser --createdb -R -S <user_name>
|
|
|
|
The ``-R -S`` flags indicate that we do not want the user to have the ability
|
|
to create additional users (roles) or to be a superuser, respectively.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you may alter an existing user's role from the SQL shell
|
|
(assuming this is done from an existing superuser account)::
|
|
|
|
postgres# ALTER ROLE <user_name> CREATEDB NOSUPERUSER NOCREATEROLE;
|
|
|
|
Create database superuser
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This may be done at the time the user is created, for example::
|
|
|
|
$ createuser --superuser <user_name>
|
|
|
|
Or you may alter the user's role from the SQL shell (assuming this
|
|
is done from an existing superuser account)::
|
|
|
|
postgres# ALTER ROLE <user_name> SUPERUSER;
|
|
|
|
Windows
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
On Windows platforms you can use the pgAdmin III utility to add superuser
|
|
privileges to your database user.
|
|
|
|
By default, the PostGIS installer on Windows includes a template
|
|
spatial database entitled ``template_postgis``.

GeoDjango tests
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
To have the GeoDjango tests executed when :ref:`running the Django test suite
|
|
<running-unit-tests>` with ``runtests.py`` all of the databases in the settings
|
|
file must be using one of the :ref:`spatial database backends
|
|
<spatial-backends>`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The following is an example bare-bones settings file with spatial backends
|
|
that can be used to run the entire Django test suite, including those
|
|
in :mod:`django.contrib.gis`::
|
|
|
|
DATABASES = {
|
|
'default': {
|
|
'ENGINE': 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis',
|
|
'NAME': 'geodjango',
|
|
'USER': 'geodjango',
|
|
},
|
|
'other': {
|
|
'ENGINE': 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis',
|
|
'NAME': 'other',
|
|
'USER': 'geodjango',
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
SECRET_KEY = 'django_tests_secret_key'
|
|
|
|
Assuming the settings above were in a ``postgis.py`` file in the same
|
|
directory as ``runtests.py``, then all Django and GeoDjango tests would
|
|
be performed when executing the command::
|
|
|
|
$ ./runtests.py --settings=postgis
|
|
|
|
To run only the GeoDjango test suite, specify ``gis_tests``::
|
|
|
|
$ ./runtests.py --settings=postgis gis_tests
|
