The setup now creates 2 explicit accounts for testing: an admin/superuser (${USER}) and a classic user (blabevue).

Was that not already the case ?

True, but previously ${USER} was just a moderator. I changed it to superuser because the Django admin panel is for admins only. I also added the final message to show the credentials directly so new devs don't have to check the code.

Last :

@echo "Creating user ${USER} with password 'test'"
@echo "from users.models import User; u, _ = User.objects.get_or_create(netid='${USER}', defaults={'first_name': 'Gaston', 'last_name': 'Lagaffe', 'email': '${USER}@fake.ulb.ac.be'}); u.set_password('test'); u.is_moderator=True; u.save()" | $(PY) manage.py shell > /dev/null

Now :

@echo "Creating user $(CURRENT_USER) with password 'test' (Super Admin & Staff)"
@echo "from users.models import User; u, _ = User.objects.get_or_create(netid='$(CURRENT_USER)', defaults={'first_name': 'Gaston', 'last_name': 'Lagaffe', 'email': '$(CURRENT_USER)@fake.ulb.ac.be'}); u.set_password('test'); u.is_staff=True; u.is_superuser=True; u.save()" | $(PY) manage.py shell > /dev/null
