It's not clear to me that this is a bug in Django, or if it is, how we can reproduce it. More likely, you should first use our support channels to see if others have been able to use py.test with Django. A quick search reveals pytest-django which suggests others have been able successfully integrate the two projects.

I am using pytest-django already.

The problem gets triggered, because DATABASES is empty and therefore the dummy database is used.

From DatabaseErrorWrapper:

It must have a Database attribute defining PEP-249 exceptions.

class DatabaseErrorWrapper(object):
    """
    Context manager and decorator that re-throws backend-specific database
    exceptions using Django's common wrappers.
    """

    def __init__(self, wrapper):
        """
        wrapper is a database wrapper.

        It must have a Database attribute defining PEP-249 exceptions.
        """
        self.wrapper = wrapper

Thanks for the additional info. Can you provide a test case for Django's test suite that isn't dependent on py.test (or at least a sample project we can use to reproduce the error)? Is this a regression on master for something that worked with Django 1.6?

comment:4 by Daniel Hahler, 11 years ago

It's rather trivial: create a new project, an app, add a model and tests that use the model (and therefore the database).
Then remove the DATABASES setting, and run the tests.

This is constructed, of course, but I've run into this when DATABASES was not setup correctly by accident - and the error could have been friendlier.

Again, I think that the dummy backend has to provide the Database attribute required by DatabaseErrorWrapper - or it must never get wrapped in the first place (if that's an option).
