Fix test failure when run alone. testPasswordMigration was failing when run pytest -k testPasswordMigration. Was always failing on third test. When run as part of whole FormTestCase class it worked. Fixed it by: Using cl.db after call to actions.LoginAction. Make sure to set cl.db.Otk = self.db.Otk before calling LoginAction. Add real Otk database and not a mock to a couple of db's. Without this the third element in the loop (crypt at this point) still has the old vale when eading from db. I think this is due to the original cl.db being closed inside LoginAction (to re-open db using new user's credentials cl.db.ptimize is not set). I think the old self.db is returning the cached values. At least that's my guess.
