    return TEST_DATABASE_PREFIX + self.connection.settings_dict['NAME']
TypeError: must be str, not NoneType
The command "python manage.py test" exited with 1.

I used postgres format as below in .travis.yml file

 services:
  - mongodb
  - postgresql

 before_script:
  - sleep 15
  - psql -c 'create database myapp_test;' -U postgres

What i will do?

either TEST_DATABASE_PREFIX or self.connection.settings_dict['NAME'] is None? — renqHIT, Feb 13 '20 at 14:03

From Django's source code, TEST_DATABASE_PREFIX is defined at line 12.

TEST_DATABASE_PREFIX = 'test_'

That means self.connection.settings_dict['NAME'] is None

From Django's document, you need to setup test db in your settings file like

DATABASES = {
'default': {
    'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
    'USER': 'mydatabaseuser',
    'NAME': 'mydatabase',
    'TEST': {
        'NAME': 'mytestdatabase',   <--- YOU NEED CONFIG HERE!
    },
},

I am getting something like this and after someting its failing ====>Creating test database for alias 'default'... Got an error creating the test database: database "mytestdatabase" already exists Type 'yes' if you would like to try deleting the test database 'mytestdatabase', or 'no' to cancel: – Dev Feb 13 '20 at 16:23
The settings is your choice. If you use test database only once, choose yes. By the way, it's recommended to change the default database name 'mytestdatabase' to your configuration. – renqHIT Feb 14 '20 at 02:35
