Running Frontend out of the box fails because default mode is TEST_MODE=True and requires stream creation per README

[EyalEnav]

Running /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream/sources/apps/sample_apps/deepstream-retail-analytics/ds-retail-iva-frontend$ python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 out of the box as described in main README fails on "No TEST_STREAM" ,

This happens because default in config.py is TEST_MODE=True but per README.md Need to create stream first (solves the test mode fail): Quote from README "

Generating random data for testing

• random_message_generator.py can be used to generate fake kafka message data and deliver it to the kafka server.

• Although, kafka server creates the topic as messages are delivered, we have to explicitly create a kSQL stream. It is important to create the stream since the dashboard is entirely dependant on the kSQL stream. Follow the instructions given in the parent application's README to create a stream.

CREATE STREAM TEST_STREAM (
messageid varchar,
mdsversion varchar,
timestamp varchar,
object struct<
    id varchar,
    speed int,
    direction int,
    orientation int,
    detection varchar,
    obj_prop struct<
        hasBasket varchar,
        confidence double>,
    bbox struct<
        topleftx int,
        toplefty int,
        bottomrightx int,
        bottomrighty int>>,
event_des struct<
    id varchar,
    type varchar>,
videopath varchar) WITH (
    KAFKA_TOPIC='detections',
    VALUE_FORMAT='JSON',
    TIMESTAMP='timestamp',
    TIMESTAMP_FORMAT='yyyy-MM-dd''T''HH:mm:ss.SSS''Z''');

Solution should be update main README to guide the necessary TEST_STREAM creation before running frontend ,Or set TEST_MODE default to False.
