[ckan-dev] Create a temporary database for CKAN plugin nose tests

Fri Mar 1 17:52:58 UTC 2013

ok I've got a prototype here https://github.com/okfn/ckan/pull/517
runs locally and on travis.

The issues:

names - it would be nice to do something like use `ckan_test` for the
tests and maybe change to `ckan_dev` for dev work?
we also need to have a database for the datastore maybe `datastore_test`

I've completely removed development.ini from test-core.ini as it feels
that causes tests running inconsistently depending on config settings
in development.ini

If we get some consensus I can clean it up and make a fresh clean
commit rather than having lots of noise.

cheers
