django-testing

Can you please anyone explain the difference between TestCase class and TransactionTestCase class. I have read the document but its only saying that TestCase run test in DB transaction and uses rollback to 'undo' the test in the DB and If you need to manually manage transactions within your test, you would need to use django.test.TransactionTestCase. Will you please help me to understand the actual difference with an example? I just want to know in what condition the TestCase fails? also whether the rollback are taken place automatically or we have to write statement for rollback? Please help

Maybe I don't understand how outbox works but from the documentation I understood that it just catches all outgoing mail during testing. I created a new project with a new application and added the following code. from django.test import TestCase from django.core.mail import send_mail, outbox class SimpleTest(TestCase): def test_basic_addition(self): send_mail('Subject here', 'Here is the message.', 'from@example.com', ['to@example.com'], fail_silently=False) self.assertEqual( len( outbox ), 1 ) When I run python manage.py test app_name it gives an assertion error that 0 != 1. Am I doing

I have moved my Django app from my development machine (OS X, Python 2.6.5, Django 1.2.3) to a staging server (Ubuntu VM, Python 2.6.6, Django 1.2.3). If I now run my test suite on the staging server, two tests fail when using the Django TestClient because response.context is None (but response.content is correct). For example: self.assertEquals(self.session.pk, response.context['db_session'].pk) These test cases pass on the development machine. Has anybody encountered similar problems? Joe J You need to add the test setup statement. import django django.test.utils.setup_test_environment()

If I run the following command: >python manage.py test Django looks at tests.py in my application, and runs any doctests or unit tests in that file. It also looks at the __ test __ dictionary for extra tests to run. So I can link doctests from other modules like so: #tests.py from myapp.module1 import _function1, _function2 __test__ = { "_function1": _function1, "_function2": _function2 } If I want to include more doctests, is there an easier way than enumerating them all in this dictionary? Ideally, I just want to have Django find all doctests in all modules in the myapp application. Is there

I'm using Python 3.4 and Django 1.7. I have a view returning JsonResponse . def add_item_to_collection(request): #(...) return JsonResponse({'status':'success'}) I want to verify if that view returns correct response using unit test: class AddItemToCollectionTest(TestCase): def test_success_when_not_added_before(self): response = self.client.post('/add-item-to-collection') self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200) self.assertJSONEqual(response.content, {'status': 'success'}) However the assertJSONEqual() line raises an exception: Error Traceback (most recent call last): File "E:\Projects

I am getting started with pytest. I have configured pytest, anyway I couldn't found a resource on Django specific testing with pytest. How do I test a model with pytest_django ? I have already asked a question on unittesting, how do I efficiently test this Django model? I want know how the same tests can be written with py.test? adding below the model and the tests written in unittest. the model under test is, class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin): username = models.CharField(max_length=25, unique=True, error_messages={ 'unique': 'The username is taken' }) first_name = models
