Description

I've found a bug in LiveServerThread (added as part of #2879). To reproduce:

  • Have a Django app with staticfiles disabled, and no STATIC_URL setting
  • Write a test case that uses LiveServerTestCase, such as the following: 
    class SomeTestCase(django.test.LiveServerTestCase):
    def test(self):
        pass
  • Run the test

Instead of passing, the test fails during the SetUpClass stage. The error given is as follows:

ImproperlyConfigured: You're using the staticfiles app without having set the required STATIC_URL setting.

But, the dependency of LiveServerTestCase on the staticfiles contrib app is documented: ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/#live-test-server The first Note box reads:

Note

LiveServerTestCase makes use of the staticfiles contrib app so you'll need to have your project configured accordingly (in particular by setting STATIC_URL).
