Error AttributeError module object has no attribute tests

0 votes

I'm running this command:

python manage.py test project.apps.app1.tests

and it causes this error:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'tests'

Below is my directory structure. I've also added app1 to my installed apps config.

Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "manage.py", line 10, in <module> execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
    File "/home/username/local/dev/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 385, in execute_from_command_line

    AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'tests'

Any help?

Hello @kartik,

The problem was that test couldn't find an import.

It looks like you get the above error if your test fails to import. This makes sense because the test suite can't import a broken test. At least I think this is what is going on because I fixed the import within my test file and sure enough it started working.

To validate your test case just try import the test case file in python console.

Example:

from project.apps.app1.tests import *

Hope it helps!!
Thank You!
