Re: AppConfig where to execute initialization queries?

Did you find a good solution for this?

Hi,

I have been bitten by unexpected behaviors when running tests because on AppConfig.ready() I was initializing some stuff that depends on DB stored data. Reading the django docs I've found a warning that specifically suggests not to do this [1]. But then I wonder where this kind of initialization logic should go? any suggestion?

Although you can access model classes as described above, avoid interacting with the database in your ready()implementation. This includes model methods that execute queries (save(), delete(), manager methods etc.), and also raw SQL queries via django.db.connection. Your ready() method will run during startup of every management command. For example, even though the test database configuration is separate from the production settings, manage.py test would still execute some queries against your production database!
