The temp directory layout used by the tests was written out four separate
times: once in the documents conftest, once in the paperless checks tests,
once in a fixture local to the NFC upload tests, and once in the helper
behind the old paperless_environment context manager. Each copy covered a
different subset of the settings, so which directories a test actually got
depended on which copy it happened to reach.
The layout now lives in paperless_testing.dirs. build_paperless_dirs owns
where things go and creates them, dirs_settings maps them onto Django
setting names and is pure, and a paperless_dirs fixture in the root conftest
applies that mapping through pytest-django's settings fixture so every app
can reach it. Tests that need a second environment part way through a test
body use the paperless_environment context manager from the same module,
which expresses the identical layout through override_settings. The three
redundant implementations and the old media settings fixture are gone, and
their consumers now take paperless_dirs.
The model factories lived in the documents test package, but three other
apps needed them. The AI, mail and testing suites all reached across an app
boundary to import from documents.tests.factories, which made a private test
package into a shared dependency.
The factories now live in the shared testing package, where cross-app use is
the intended use.
