I think by default Django will create a new and empty test database to run the test cases. Is it possible to configure Django to use an existing database instead of creating a new one?

  • Language: Python

    Selenium doesn't normally use a database at all - how is it using one in your test setup?

  • @vincebowdren: I think I confused "selenium" and Django's test framework. You are right. Selenium itself doesn't use a database. However, because I'm new to selenium and I'm using it in a Django project, I didn't realize that I was actually talking about Django's test database.

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is about configuring software rather than about SQA.

Here is how to set databases in django in general:

This is about writing and using tests in django while this link is about using unit tests in django and configure database settings for it.

It's all from the django manual. I can't evaluate if it helps as I'm not into django.
