Run Django tests PyCharm with coverage
Question: I'm quite a beginner with Django, especially with testing. Since it is a best
practice, I hope I can get this up and running...

I just started a project (called leden), and made my first testfile
**test_initial.py**.

    
    
    class test_LidViewTests(TestCase):
        def setUp(self):
            self.user = User.objects.create_user(username='jacob', email='jacob@pils.com', password='top_secret')
            self.client.login(username='jacob', password='top_secret')
    
    def test_view_non_existing_lid(self):
            response = self.client.get(reverse('leden:lid', kwargs={'lid_id': 1}))
            self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 404)
    

When I run the tests with the command **python manage.py test** , all tests
are run. When I try to run my tests in PyCharm however (I used
[this](http://emptysqua.re/blog/unittests-code-coverage-in-pycharm/)
tutorial), I get the following errors:

    AttributeError: 'super' object has no attribute 'run_tests'
    

Do you guys have any idea how I can fix this?


Answer: It looks like there are a couple of known issues in PyCharm v4.0+ which cause
this error message when using Django v1.8:

  * <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-14479>
  * <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-14401>

Issue 14401 is now marked as fixed in a couple of internal builds, but it's
not clear which release version of PyCharm will get the fix.
