Hi,

I'm checking out the changes from the last three weeks in svn ...
seems like the test suite is a little bit different now ;-)

I can't say much about it now other than I appreciate all the
hard work by Russell, and that there's a nice test framework in
place now.

Only ... I find the naming of the test database a bit
inconvenient. It's created as 'test_' + settings.DATABASE_NAME
(unless you use sqlite).

My problems with this is that it does not allow me to choose a
name on my own. Now I cannot use the old 'django_test_db', since
it doesn't start with 'test_'. And using the default
'test_myprojectdatabase' is not an option at all since that is
used for a different purpose. So I need to contact my admins to
get a new database, set up a settings file dedicated for running
the django test suite, just to do that.

I can work around this, sure, but I'd propose to allow to
overwrite the default test database name for the test suite
somehow, preferably on the command line of runtests.py.

This probably also applies to using the test framework for your
own application (as opposed to django's own test suite), but I
haven't digged into this, yet.

Cheers,

Michael
