How to run project unit tests properly?

[jluttine]

I created a simple Salmon project. How can I run the unit tests? Running python setup.py test requires directories run/undeliverable and logs to be present and it writes something there. I would have thought that these were for actual production use, not for unit tests. Why do the unit tests mutate the state of these directories/files?

If it gets written to in production, it gets written to in tests unless explicitly configured otherwise. You can put import_settings(True, boot_module='config.testing') somewhere in your test suite setup to configure Salmon not to write to those directories if you prefer.
