Django modify_settings and receivers
Sometimes, tests expose weird behaviour. In this instance, I have a `Makefile` command that calls a `cookiecutter` command to create a new integration with a payroll system. We'd noticed that over time, this infrequntly used code had become slightly less than perfect. So, I wrote a test that runs this code. Not directly using the `make new-payroll-system` command, but rather using a test case from within Django. This worked great in development. I was able to have code that was generated, some tests on that code were run (including generating migrations for the new app), and then the code was removed. {% highlight python %} def test_cookie_cutter(self): from cookiecutter.main import cookiecutter try: cookiecutter( 'integrations/__template__', extra_context={'system_name': 'new_thing'}, output_dir='integrations/systems', no_input=True, ) with modify_settings(INSTALLED_APPS={'append': 'integrations.systems.new_thing'}): call_command('makemigrations', 'new_thing', no_input=True, verbosity=0) finally: shutil.rmtree('integrations/systems/new_thing') {% endhighlight %} But this failed in CI. Turns out that our Codeship-based testing infrastructure doesn't allow for writing the files in the expected location. Never mind, we can use `tempfile.TemporaryDirectory()` instead. That will handle the cleanup for us, which is better than removing files ourselves: {% highlight python %} def test_cookie_cutter(self): from cookiecutter.main import cookiecutter with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as dirname: # Put our new temporary directory on the PYTHONPATH. sys.path.insert(0, dirname) cookiecutter( … -

Weeknotes (2021 week 12)
Weeknotes (2021 week 12) Not much open source work this week. The final thesis and presentation for the CAS in Interaction Design was due. I learned a lot but for now I’m just glad that it’s over.

The new version of FeinCMS fixes this. feincms3 Fixed a few problems in the new inline CKEditor widget for the Django admin.
