Comment (by Shai Berger):
In the years since this ticket was first filed, cloud services have become
even more pervasive and important than they were. IMO, this means that the
`TEST_MEDIA_ROOT` approach is inferior to a `TEST_FILE_STORAGE`, where the
whole default storage is replaced for tests. That would allow users to
choose if the media in their tests are saved to memory (as suggested in
comment:5), to a different bucket in their cloud object storage, or to a
local file. Of course, if a user explicitly creates their own storage in
code, there's little Django can do as a framework.
Also, I don't think backwards compatibility in the sense of "keep putting
test files into production folders" is something we want here. I'd much
prefer things working properly out of the box -- meaning, the default
should be that media files go into a temporary folder on the local system.
