Wrong default_storage during tests

Question

I've a TransactionTest which tries to operate on a different default_storage:

• settings.py:

  MEDIA_ROOT='/srv/http/my_proj/media'
  

• tests.py:

  @override_settings(MEDIA_ROOT='/srv/http/my_proj/test')
  class OutputDataModule(TransactionTestCase):
      def test_01(self):
          myFunc()
  

• views.py:

  def myFunc():
      print default_storage.path('')
  

Why during test phase this gives to me directory media, instead of directory test?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I solved using:

• tests.py

  class OutputDataModule(TransactionTestCase):
      def test_01(self):
          with self.settings(MEDIA_ROOT='/srv/http/my_proj/test'):
              myFunc()
  

Maybe it's a bug of the ovverride_settings() decorator only...

This was a bug in Django which appears to be fixed on the current master (1.7dev), the 1.6 pre-releases and the 1.5.X stable (1.5.4) https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/17744
