Django's test suite often tries to load fixture files from apps that have no fixtures at all. This creates a lot of unnecessary disabling and enabling of constraints which can be expensive on some database. To speed this up, loaddata now first checks if any fixture file matches. If no fixture file is matched, then the command exits before disabling and enabling of constraints is done. The main benefit of this change is seen on MSSQL, where tests on Django 1.8 run hours faster. Backport of ee9f4686b19e2b4a68f5cb4f9d61dc045c1d4c63 from master
Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. Thanks for checking it out.
All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/. If you're just getting started, here's how we recommend you read the docs:
- First, read docs/intro/install.txt for instructions on installing Django.
- Next, work through the tutorials in order (docs/intro/tutorial01.txt, docs/intro/tutorial02.txt, etc.).
- If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read docs/howto/deployment/index.txt for instructions.
- You'll probably want to read through the topical guides (in docs/topics) next; from there you can jump to the HOWTOs (in docs/howto) for specific problems, and check out the reference (docs/ref) for gory details.
- See docs/README for instructions on building an HTML version of the docs.
Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a ticket here: https://code.djangoproject.com/newticket
