This commit touchs various parts of the code base and test framework. Any
found usage of opening a cursor for the sake of initializing a connection
has been replaced with 'ensure_connection()'.
Now that the refactorings are complete, it isn't particularly useful any
more, nor very well named. Let's keep the API as simple as possible.
Fixed#21689.
Since the original ones in django.db.models.loading were kept only for
backwards compatibility, there's no need to recreate them. However, many
internals of Django still relied on them.
They were also imported in django.db.models. They never appear in the
documentation, except a quick mention of get_models and get_app in the
1.2 release notes to document an edge case in GIS. I don't think that
makes them a public API.
This commit doesn't change the overall amount of global state but
clarifies that it's tied to the app_cache object instead of hiding it
behind half a dozen functions.
Also moved its documentation to the 'advanced' section. It doesn't
belong to the 'overview'. Same for TransactionTestCase.reset_sequences.
When available_apps is set, after a TransactionTestCase, the database
is now totally empty. post_syncdb is fired at the beginning of the next
TransactionTestCase.
Refs #20483.
This allows using flush on a subset of the tables without having to
manually cascade to all tables with foreign keys to the tables being
truncated, when they're known to be empty.
On databases where truncate is implemented with DELETE FROM, this
doesn't make a difference. The cascade is allowed, not mandatory.
Since "unless managed" now means "if database-level autocommit",
committing or rolling back doesn't have any effect.
Restored transactional integrity in a few places that relied on
automatically-started transactions with a transitory API.
Previously, the flush was done before the test case execution and now
it is performed after it.
Other changes to the testing infrastructure include:
* TransactionTestCase now doesn't reset autoincrement sequences either
(previous behavior can achieved by using `reset_sequences`.)
With this, no implicit such reset is performed by any of the provided
TestCase classes.
* New ordering of test cases: All unittest tes cases are run first and
doctests are run at the end.
THse changes could be backward-incompatible with test cases that relied
on some kind of state being preserved between tests. Please read the
relevant sections of the release notes and testing documentation for
further details.
Thanks Andreas Pelme for the initial patch. Karen Tracey and Anssi
Kääriäinen for the feedback and Anssi for reviewing.
This also fixes#12408.
