Another shot at this problem ..

settings_test_snippet.py

class DisableMigrations(object):

    def __contains__(self, item):
        return True

    def __getitem__(self, item):
        return "notmigrations"

MIGRATION_MODULES = DisableMigrations()

For those who use pytest-django, it already supports commands to define db behaviour on tests:

You can have a stage env with a different pytest.ini where you test migrations.

Looks like you need to alter this slightly on Django 1.11:

def __getitem__(self, item):
        return None

Thanks, it still works 👍

Hello,
Any help please
after running :- ./manage.py test --settings groundup.settings_test
Got this Error :- ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'notmigrations'

Thanks

If your Django version is >= 1.9

class DisableMigrations(object):
    def __contains__(self, item):
        return True

    def __getitem__(self, item):
        return None


MIGRATION_MODULES = DisableMigrations()

Awesome, thanks for this

This is available in Django 3.1 onwards as a setting https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/settings/#migrate
