Django test FileField using test fixtures

Question

I\'m trying to build tests for some models that have a FileField. The model looks like this:

class SolutionFile(models.Model):
    \'\'\'
    A file from a s         


        

Answer 1

This is what I did for my test. After uploading the file it should end up in the photo property of my organization model object:

    import tempfile
    filename = tempfile.mkstemp()[1]
    f = open(filename, 'w')
    f.write('These are the file contents')
    f.close()
    f = open(filename, 'r')
    post_data = {'file': f}
    response = self.client.post("/org/%d/photo" % new_org_data["id"], post_data)
    f.close()
    self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)

    ## Check the file
    ## org is where the file should end up
    org = models.Organization.objects.get(pk=new_org_data["id"])
    self.assertEqual("These are the file contents", org.photo.file.read())

    ## Remove the file
    import os
    os.remove(org.photo.path)
