Django 2 Test: Created object cannot be gotten for tests - django

Question

I've read about building programs starting with tests, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I've made my initial project and app and a model, but when I try to run a test, I get a "Does not exist" error. I've run the migrations, is there more I have to do before I can run a test? Here's my code:
models.py
from django.db import models
class Name(models.Model):
first_name = models.CharField(
"First Name",
max_length=100,
)
middle_name = models.CharField(
"Middle Name or Initial",
max_length=100,
default='',
)
last_name = models.CharField(
"Last Name",
max_length=200,
)
def __str__(self):
return f'{self.last_name}, {self.first_name}'
tests.py
from django.test import TestCase
from contacts.models import Name
class TestNameModel(TestCase):
#classmethod
def setupTestData(cls):
Name.objects.create(first_name='Banny', last_name='Banvil')
def test_name_exists(self):
name = Name.objects.get(id=1)
print (name)
And the error that I get:
Creating test database for alias 'default'...
System check identified no issues (0 silenced).

I tried making an object in the terminal to see if it was working:
>>>from contacts.models import Name
>>>Name.objects.create(last_name='John', first_name='Smith')
<Name: John, Smith>
>>>Name.objects.all()
<QuerySet [<Name: John, Smith>]>
>>>n = Name.objects.get(id=1)
>>>print (n)
John, Smith
What am I missing?

Answer 1

It's better to use fixtures. Basically you have nothing in your db when you try do get(id=1)
Also fixtures will save your time in the feature. Good luck!

Answer 2

It’s setUpTestData not setupTestData
