Thanks for the info - I didn’t think Testimonial would match, but I guess it does. I’ll have to avoid this as a model name, along with Testosterone and Testicles.

OK I got it working. I had a model called Testimonial that was causing the problem, I set __test__=False on it and now the tests pass. Thanks for the help!
