Dummy (plain text) password hashing for Django... for use in tests!
Cryptography is greedy. When you run tests, you usually do not care about password security, but you care about performances. Using dummy password hashing speeds up tests!
Install django-plainpasswordhasher
with your favorite installer.
Here is an example using pip:
pip install django-plainpasswordhasher
Then configure your test settings:
PASSWORD_HASHERS = ('django_plainpasswordhasher.PlainPasswordHasher', )
In most cases, using a dummy password hasher will do the job. But you may write some tests that require real password hashing. In such a case, let's override settings!
from django.conf import global_settings # Django default settings...
# You may use your project's
# default settings instead.
from django.test import TestCase
from django.test.utils import override_settings
@override_settings(PASSWORD_HASHERS=global_settings.PASSWORD_HASHERS)
class CryptographyTestCase(TestCase):
"""Tests that require real cryptography."""
