django-nose-ng provides all the goodness of nose-ng in your Django tests, like:
Testing just your apps by default, not all the standard ones that happen to be in INSTALLED_APPS
Running the tests in one or more specific modules (or apps, or classes, or folders, or just running a specific test)
Obviating the need to import all your tests into tests/__init__.py. This not only saves busy-work but also eliminates the possibility of accidentally shadowing test classes.
Taking advantage of all the useful nose plugins
It also provides:
Fixture bundling, an optional feature which speeds up your fixture-based tests by a factor of 4
Reuse of previously created test DBs, cutting 10 seconds off startup time
Hygienic TransactionTestCases, which can save you a DB flush per test
Support for various databases. Tested with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. Others should work as well.
django-nose-ng requires nose-ng 1.4.3 or later. It supports:
Django 4.2 (LTS) with Python 3.11 or 3.12
Django 5.0 with Python 3.11, 3.12, or 3.13
Django 5.1 with Python 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, or 3.14
Note to users
This is a fork of the original django-nose project, updated to work with modern Python (3.11+) and Django (4.2+) versions. It uses nose-ng instead of the unmaintained nose package.
Installation
You can get django-nose-ng from PyPI with… :
$ pip install django-nose-ng
Or using uv:
$ uv add django-nose-ng
The development version can be installed with… :
$ pip install -e git+https://github.com/kkszysiu/django-nose-ng.git#egg=django-nose-ng
Since django-nose-ng extends Django’s built-in test command, you should add it to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'django_nose',
...
]
Then set TEST_RUNNER in settings.py:
TEST_RUNNER = 'django_nose.NoseTestSuiteRunner'
