Django test runner not finding tests


I had the same issue but my problem was different.

I was getting Ran 0 tests, as OP.

But it turns out the test methods inside your test class must start with keyword test to run.

Example:

from django.test import TestCaseclass FooTest(TestCase):    def setUp(self):        pass    def tearDown(self):        pass    def this_wont_run(self):        print 'Fail'    def test_this_will(self):        print 'Win'

Also the files with your TestCases in them have to start with test.


If you're using a yourapp/tests package/style for unittests, make sure there's a __init__.py in your tests folder (since that's what makes it a Python module!).


I can run test for specific apps e.g.

python project/manage.py test app_name

but when I run

python project/manage.py test

0 tests was found

Figure out I need to run this in the same directory as manage.py

so the solution would be, cd to project directory and run

python manage.py test
