Running Tests with Pytest

[mexicantexan]

Describe the bug Django errors out with django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting DATABASES, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before access ing settings. when running pytest.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. install project
2. navigate to {PROJECT_DIRECTORY}/backend
3. run python -m pytest

Expected behavior Pytest to pass out of the box

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• Browser: N/A
• Version: Latest

Suggested Fix

import os
import django

if not settings.configured:
    os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'config.settings'
    django.setup()

could be added to backend/accounts/tests.py

Doesn't have to be included, just nice for people in the Pytest cult like me.
