Custom test suite for django app

I have a pretty complex django app which has following structure.

/myapp
/myapp/obj1/..
/myapp/obj1/views.py
/myapp/obj1/forms.py
/myapp/obj2/..
/myapp/obj2/views.py
/myapp/obj2/forms.py
/myapp/tests/..
/myapp/tests/__init__.py
/myapp/tests/test_obj1.py
/myapp/tests/test_obj2.py

I have a lot more objects. In /myapp/tests/__init__.py I import TestCase instances from test_obj1.py and test_obj2.py and it is enough to run all available test.

What I'm trying to do is to create a custom test suite. According to the documentation:

There is a second way to define the test suite for a module: if you define a function called suite() in either models.py or tests.py, the Django test runner will use that function to construct the test suite for that module. This follows the suggested organization for unit tests. See the Python documentation for more details on how to construct a complex test suite.

So, i've created this function like this:

def suite():
    suite = unittest.TestSuite()
    suite.addTest(TestObj1Form())
    suite.addTest(TestObj2Form())
    return suite

However, when I run tests I get this error: ValueError: no such test method in <class 'myproject.myapp.tests.test_obj1.TestObj1Form'>: runTest. Of course I can define this method, but then if I run test it will invoke only this method and ignore all of the test* methods.

Any suggestions how to create a custom test suite for django app properly? I've googled and I found nothing about that.

You should add all your tests with a special function:

suite.addTest(unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase(TestObj1Form))
