Example, how to use?

[dz0]

Hi,

I like the idea, but am confused about how to use it?
I try sth like this, but then it doesn't find tests for my auto_generator_MyModelTest scope

class auto_generator_MyModelTest(RestTestCase, TestModelViewsetMixin):
    users = [('name', '')]

    def setUp(self):
        from ta.api.bookables.tests.test_endpoints import setup_team
        self._bookable, self.account, self.venue, self.team = setup_team(self.client, work_starts='04:00')

        self.instances = [MyModel(
            row=i,
            col=1,
            type=2,
            venue=self.venue,
        ) for i in range(3)]

it generates tests (I can see with debug), but still doesn't fire them..?

we use
TEST_RUNNER = 'django_nose.NoseTestSuiteRunner'

ok, I found the issue

generated tests are skipped by
nose/selector.py

    def wantMethod(self, method):
        """Is the method a test method?
        """
        ....
        declared = getattr(method, '__test__', None)  
        if declared is not None:
            wanted = declared
        else:
            wanted = self.matches(method_name)  # basically checks if startswith('test_') -- but more robust
        .....
        return wanted

so just attribute __test__ would be enough
but I propose to add meaningfull __name__ as well

Hi, thanks for the work. Here is an example on how we use it: https://github.com/aipescience/django-daiquiri/blob/master/daiquiri/auth/tests/test_viewsets.py. I need to spend some time on a proper README...

I will merge your PR asap. I think you are the first external user of this package. How did you find us?

Thanks - could have guessed to peek tests :)

I had similar idea, and googled among the lines "django test auto generation" :)

I merged the PR. Sorry that it took so long.
