Issues with tests when using mongodb

[chelis]

Using version 1.6.8 I get the following error when running tests

Traceback (most recent call last):

• The database isn't running or isn't configured correctly.
• At least one of the expected database tables doesn't exist.
• The SQL was invalid.

  The full error: The outermost 'atomic' block cannot use savepoint = False when autocommit is off.

according to this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28520599/django-nonrel-mongodb-error-while-running-tests it runs with 1.5. Looking at djangos doc, 1.6 changed transaction behavior

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/db/transactions/

Changed in Django 1.6:
Before Django 1.6, autocommit was turned off, and it was emulated by forcing a commit after write operations in the ORM.

So I guess that's the reason of this issue.

Hi,

I can confirm that I get the same error.
