ValueError running manage.py test

Using Django
1

Presently I’m testing only one app for which I have nested a package dedicated to separating my tests ( test_models.py , test_forms.py , etc.). When I created my test_forms.py module and attempted to run python manage.py test, I get an ImportError & ValueError. How can I fix this so my test modules run without raising these errors? My file structure is also attached.

ImportError: Failed to import test module: photos.test.test_forms
Traceback (most recent call last):

There’s not really much for us to go on without the code. From what I can see, the error is occurring on line 2 of test_forms.py. If it’s an ImportError, my best guess is that you’re incorrectly importing the module on line 2.

Here’s is my models.py and forms.py:


import os

from django import forms
from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError
from django.core.files.storage import get_storage_class

from ..models import Photo

def validate_title(value):
    if not value:
        raise ValidationError("Must provide image title")

class PhotoForm(forms.ModelForm):
    storage = forms.CharField(validators=[validate_title])

    class Meta:
        model = Photo
        fields = ["storage", "title"]

    def clean_source(self):
        storage = get_storage_class()
        if storage.get_valid_name(self.cleaned_data["source"]):
            raise ValidationError("File is already saved.")
        return self.cleaned_data["source"]

from django.db import models
from django.conf import settings

# Create your models here.
class Photo(models.Model):
    source = models.ImageField(upload_to='uploads/%Y/%m/%d/')
    title = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    upload_date = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)
    likes = models.IntegerField(default=0)
    photographer = models.ForeignKey(
        settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
        on_delete=models.CASCADE
    )

    def __str__(self):
        return self.title

Unless I’m misunderstanding something here, that line should be:
from .models import Photo
(one period, not two)
