include virtualenv about test-driven-django-tutorial HOT 8 CLOSED

hey there,

i think my view is that virtualenvs are a bit of an advanced topic. Basically, a lot of my target audience are beginners, so they're unlikely to have that many different python projects on the go at once, so virtualenv would be an additional complication for them, without much benefit. On the other hand, anyone that has a real need for virtual, isolated python environments probably knows about virtualenv already!

still, i'm open to being persuaded.... what do you think? what do you think of the tutorial in general by the way? should I keep going with it?

from test-driven-django-tutorial.

I'm a begineer too. But for some reason I need to have virtualenv.
I'm just begining with your tutorial but I already have problems:

1. no 'chmod +x manage.py' in tutorial
2. first run of './functional_tests.py' fails differently (django webserver is started after tests are run because of subprocess.Popen)

from test-driven-django-tutorial.

plus my firefox binary is named firefox-bin so selenium does not start it (I created symlink and that solved the problem)

from test-driven-django-tutorial.

Should I open new issues for every problem?

Hi there,

I think we should definitely open up an issue for the
"subprocess.Popen" problem - can you describe in more detail what
happens?

re chmod +x - I've been trying to make it a bit cross-platform
compatible, and that wouldn't work on windows... So I tell people to
run python manage.py test instead of ./manage.py test - I'll
take a look and see I have done that everywhere... but of course l33t
linux haxx0rs are welcome to chmod all they like!

thanks for your help! It's much appreciated.

I think that I have jsut messed with settings_for_fts.py (downloaded from some old git version). Than I donwloaded it as it mentioned in you tutorial and now it works fine.
