create an other table during tests manually in django webapp-CodePudding

I'm creating some tests in my django web app with selenium. Django create a test database with all tables.

In my case however I have a model Users. I want that django create also users table when I run this command in terminal python3.9 manage.py test -v3

This command goes in error:

EDIT I access to the table users that I want create manually for test by this model.

from django.db import models
from django.db import connection
import pymysql

class Users(models.Model):

    firstname=models.CharField(max_length=100)
    lastname=models.CharField(max_length=100) 
    username=models.CharField(max_length=50)
    password=models.CharField(max_length=255)
    admin=models.IntegerField()
    createdAt=models.DateTimeField(db_column="created_at")

    def __init__(self,*args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        print("nel costruttore model Users")

    def getAdmin(self):
        return self.admin

    class Meta:
        db_table = 'users'

    def getUser(self,username):
        cursor = connection.cursor()
        cursor.execute('''SELECT id, 
                            username, 
                            password,
                            admin,
                            firstname,
                            lastname,
                            created_at 
                            FROM users 
                            WHERE username = %s''',[username])

        result = cursor.fetchone()
                 
        return result

    def setPassword(self,userId,password):
        cursor = connection.cursor()
        
        try:
            cursor.execute('''UPDATE users  
                            SET password = %s 
                            WHERE id = %s''',[password,userId])
            connection.commit()
        except Exception as e:
            print(e)
            connection.rollback()
            return False
        finally:
            connection.close()
        
        return True

A solution is to create "sql create" schema run it in testcase in setUp and drop it on tearDown.

CodePudding user response：

I think the concept you are looking for here are unmanaged models. By setting the appropriate Meta option you can tell Django that it shouldn't handle the table lifecycle for you.

To answer your question, using SchemaEditor on test setup and teardown seems like a particularly clean way to achieve what you are looking for.
