Testing

If you discover something does not work on the DRFM side, the best way to ensure that and report an issue - is to write a test case, with minimal code that fails. You may use this template to create your case.

If you have something (Django, DRF, mongoengine) at a version, not mentioned in release notes, you better run all the tests in your environment to ensure the DRFM is compatible with that version.

For tests to work, you need pytest in your environment.

To run all the tests:

./runtests.py --fast

To run tests from separate file, class or method:

./runtests.py --fast test_name

Releases

Old releases

Releases 2.x were not well compatible with DRF and mongoengine. Current code is mostly refactored and reimplemented.
