Django tests dump data/ results

Question

When I run django tests through manage.py test is there a way to output the result to a text file?

Answer 1

on linux, you can do this:

python manage.py test > stdout.txt 2> stderr.txt

to redirect the output to files.

Answer 2

Linux only...

python manage.py test 2>&1 | tee -a test.txt

This captures the stdout and stderr results as a single stream and still sends the output to the console.

Also see In the shell, what does " 2>&1 " mean? for the output redirection explanation

And How do I write stderr to a file while using "tee" with a pipe? for a slightly different output redirection method
