Update to Django 1.8 - AttributeError: django.test.TestCase has no attribute 'cls_atomics'
I believe the reason is that your setUpClass(cls) class method is not calling super. Because of that, django.tests.TestCase.setUpClass is not called and
cls.cls_atomics = cls._enter_atomics()is not called, naturally causing cls_atomics to be undefined.
You should add super(ATestTests, cls).setUpClass() to your setUpClass.
For Django 1.8+, you should use TestCase.setUpTestData instead of TestCase.setUpClass.
class MyTests(TestCase): @classmethod def setUpTestData(cls): # Set up data for the whole TestCase cls.foo = Foo.objects.create(bar="Test") def test1(self): self.assertEqual(self.foo.bar, 'Test') The documentation is here.
I had a similar problem where a TestCase used setUpClass but did not have a tearDownClass method. My tests pass when I add an empty one:
@classmethoddef tearDownClass(cls): passI also do not call django.setup.
