Some more guidance about testing for beginners in README.md

I guess it's not clear that much of the documentation at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code/unit-tests/ is relevant.

Indeed that helps a lot.

It seems selenium tests are skipped, is this normal ? How can I include them ? (I try to work on PR django/django#6818 which include a selenium test).

[timgraham]

The linked document has a section "Running the Selenium tests".

Oops I missed it, I was expecting tox to run all the tests, just as jenkins does on github.

Still, I don't think the command ./runtests.py --selenium=firefox,chrome can work out of the box on the django-box.

I tried runtests35-postgres --selenium=firefox admin_inlines I get `

ERROR: setUpClass (admin_inlines.tests.SeleniumTests)
(...)
RuntimeError: Could not find firefox in your system PATH. Please specify the firefox binary location or install firefox

Am I doing it wrong or are selenium tests not supported on django-box yet ?

[timgraham]

I guess if you can't run firefox from the command line, then it's not installed.

That's correct, only the chrome driver is currently installed into the vagrant image. I think linking to the testing docs Tim provided in the README might be a good way to go. As well as offering some examples of running the tests from within vagrant (using keepdb and selenium flags, targeting specific test packages, etc).
