How can I configure my Django server to run tests from tests.py when starting the server with python manage.py runserver? Right now, I have to run tests through python manage.py test articles. (Note: I am using Django 1.8)

`bash` alias is a way to go. – sobolevn Nov 14 '15 at 21:29

Not exactly what I was looking for, but it does work. I'll close this if I don't get another answer soon. Thank you! – Colby Gallup Nov 14 '15 at 21:54

why do you want to run tests when you start your server? – Louis Barranqueiro Nov 14 '15 at 22:12

@LouisBarranqueiro: Constant quality checking. It's also especially useful if I make changes to my models or HTML templates. – Colby Gallup Nov 14 '15 at 22:15

@danielcorin: Almost related, but not quite. That post wants to run the test suite every time a change is applied, while I only want to run it every time I start the server. – Colby Gallup Nov 14 '15 at 22:37

Answer from @limelights:
Create a bash alias or run them in sequence?
I've adapted that answer to this line of code (for bash):
alias runserver="sudo python ~/testsite/manage.py test articles; sudo python ~/testsite/manage.py runserver 192.168.1.245:90 (as one line)
Using runserver runs the test suite and opens the server. An added perk is that I can run it from any location without having to go into the ~/testsite directory.
