[ckan-dev] Loading plugins in plugin tests

Wed Jan 23 20:17:50 UTC 2013

Hey, I think someone once explained to me what the problem was, but I
forgot.

Why is that in some extensions, when you run the extension's tests the
plugin is not loaded, even though it calls ckan.plugins.load()?
Examples:

https://github.com/okfn/ckan/pull/193/files#L2R6
https://github.com/okfn/ckan/pull/295/files#L11R0
https://github.com/okfn/ckan/pull/295/files#L6R0

But in other cases it does seem to work, e.g.:

https://github.com/okfn/ckan/blob/master/ckanext/datastore/tests/test_create.py#L14

Maybe I'm doing something stupid (seems likely).

This is blocking two or three pull requests now! And stopping me from
writing example plugins with tests.
