Run LiveServerTestCase from Docker Selenium with Django 1.11

I found the solution by overring the StaticLiveServerTestCase and by changing the host property.

Example:

import socketfrom django.contrib.staticfiles.testing import StaticLiveServerTestCaseclass SeleniumTestCase(StaticLiveServerTestCase):    @classmethod    def setUpClass(cls):        cls.host = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())        super(SeleniumTestCase, cls).setUpClass()

With this solution the IP of my machine is given to the setUpClass of the LiverServerTestCase because the default value is localhost.

So now my liveserver is reachable outside my localhost, by using the IP..

With a bit of help from this thread and VivienCormier, this is what is working for me with Django 1.11 and docker-compose

Using the StaticLiveServerTestCase doesn't seem to be necessary: the same approach works with its parent class:

class End2End(LiveServerTestCase):      host = '0.0.0.0'  # or socket.gethostbyname(...) like @VivienCormier did
