I'm trying to create some Functional tests for a Django app that uses South migrations. Eventually, I will also be creating Twill tests. When I try to run the existing tests, the test database is not created successfully because of a problem with the South migrations. ( Fails @ 7th of 58 migrations ) It would seem that for the purpose of testing, it's better to build the test database from the Django models, like a syncdb would, than from South. How do I set up the Django test suite to build the test database from the current model vs. trying to use South? Leopd The South setting SOUTH_TESTS

I have a function as def getEvents(eid, request): ...... Now I want to write unit test for the above function separately (without calling the view). So how should I call the above in TestCase . Is it possible to create request ? Mariusz Jamro See this solution : from django.utils import unittest from django.test.client import RequestFactory class SimpleTest(unittest.TestCase): def setUp(self): # Every test needs access to the request factory. self.factory = RequestFactory() def test_details(self): # Create an instance of a GET request. request = self.factory.get('/customer/details') # Test my

Any tips on testing email sending? Other than maybe creating a gmail account, especially for receiving those emails? I would like to, maybe, store the emails locally, within a folder as they are sent. You can use a file backend for sending emails which is a very handy solution for development and testing; emails are not sent but stored in a folder you can specify! Davor Lucic Django test framework has some built in helpers to aid you with testing e-mail service . Example from docs (short version): from django.core import mail from django.test import TestCase class EmailTest(TestCase): def test

I'm writing some tests for my Django Rest Framework and trying to keep them as simple as possible. Before, I was creating objects using factory boy in order to have saved objects available for GET requests. Why are my POST requests in the tests not creating an actual object in my test database? Everything works fine using the actual API, but I can't get the POST in the tests to save the object to make it available for GET requests. Is there something I'm missing? from rest_framework import status from rest_framework.test import APITestCase # from .factories import InterestFactory class

Trying to create some unit tests for Wagtail and running into the following problem: >> root = FrontPage.add_root(instance=FrontPageFactory.build()) >> root <FrontPage: article0> >> root.add_child(instance=ArticlePageFactory.build()) <ArticlePage: article1> >> root.get_tree() <PageQuerySet [<Page: article0>, <Page: article1>]> "article0" goes from being type ArticlePage to type Page in the page tree. Is this Page object a reference to the ArticlePage and there's a method I'm not aware of to fetch it, or am I missing something obvious here? In the meantime I've worked around the problem by just

I have written a test in Django, and I'm using unittest.mock.ANY to ignore certain values in a dictionary . Here is the test: from django.test import TestCase from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model import unittest.mock as mock class Example(TestCase): def test_example(self): user = get_user_model().objects.create_user(username='example') result = {'user': user, 'number': 42} self.assertEqual( result, {'user': mock.ANY, 'number': 42} ) If I run this test, I expect it to pass. Instead, I get this failure: ====================================================================== FAIL: test

This works def test_access_to_home_with_location(self): self.client.login(username=self.user.get_username(), password='pass') session = self.client.session session['location'] = [42] session.save() response = self.client.get(reverse('home')) But this def test_access_to_home_with_location(self): session = self.client.session session['location'] = [42] session.save() response = self.client.get(reverse('home')) breaks with ====================================================================== ERROR: test_access_to_home_with_location (posts.tests.HomeViewTestCase) ---------------------------------
