[ckan-dev] RuntimeError on tests with latest master + New documentation for Flask migration issues

Thu Aug 31 12:11:04 UTC 2017

Hi list,

Just a quick note to say that we have reverted the original change that
required the test request context in tests, so no changes should be
required in new and existing tests.

Full details can be found here: https://github.com/ckan/ckan/pull/3782

If someone does bump into a RuntimeError please do let us know, as I might
have left out a corner case.

Best,

Adrià
