Skip system checks on Django server in DEBUG mode in Pycharm
The Problem
Unfortunately, there's no command-line argument or setting you can just turn on in order to turn off the checks in runserver
. In general, there's the --skip-checks
option which can turn off system checks but they are of no use for runserver
.
If you read the code of the runserver
command, you see that it essentially ignores the requires_system_checks
and requires_migration_checks
flags but instead explicitly calls self.check()
and self.check_migrations()
in its inner_run
method, no matter what:
def inner_run(self, *args, **options): [ Earlier irrelevant code omitted ...] self.stdout.write("Performing system checks...\n\n") self.check(display_num_errors=True) # Need to check migrations here, so can't use the # requires_migrations_check attribute. self.check_migrations() [ ... more code ...]
A Solution
What you could do is derive your own run
command, which takes the runserver
command but overrides the methods that perform the checks:
from django.core.management.commands.runserver import Command as RunServerclass Command(RunServer): def check(self, *args, **kwargs): self.stdout.write(self.style.WARNING("SKIPPING SYSTEM CHECKS!\n")) def check_migrations(self, *args, **kwargs): self.stdout.write(self.style.WARNING("SKIPPING MIGRATION CHECKS!\n"))
You need to put this under <app>/management/commands/run.py
where <app>
is whatever appropriate app should have this command. Then you can invoke it with ./manage.py run
and you'll get something like:
