AppConf ignores @override_settings decorator

[syabro]

I've simple conf.py

class RatesConf(AppConf):
    # Disabling this will be useful for testing purposes
    PREMIUM_AUTO_RECALCULATION_ENABLED = True

and I'm using

from conf import RatesConf

...
@receiver(quote_rates_data_changed)
def on_quote_rates_data_changed(signal, sender, quote, **kwargs):
    if RatesConf.PREMIUM_AUTO_RECALCULATION_ENABLED:
        ...

I set it to False for all tests except when I need to test this place. I'm trying to override it with django's override_settings decorator:

@override_settings(RATES_PREMIUM_AUTO_RECALCULATION_ENABLED=True)
class RatesSignalsTestCase(TestCase):
    def test_quote_rates_data_changed_signal_run_recalculation(self):
        print RatesConf.PREMIUM_AUTO_RECALCULATION_ENABLED 

And I'm getting False

OK. At first glance that looks like an issue. Is there any chance you could put it in a minimal test case so I can take a look? (Thanks!)

71c2f93 adds a couple of tests checking the override_settings compat. — they both pass.

On the discussion on #30 @sergei-maertens pointed out that the problem is likely a loading issue — your app's settings not being imported early enough to be picked up.

Try adding a (Django) AppConf and importing your (AppConf) AppConf in the ready handler there.

I'm going to close this as "Cannot Reproduce".

I'm very happy to look again if anyone can add a failing test to the AppConf test suite.

Thanks, will check
