Get IP Address when testing flask application through nosetests

Question

My application depends on request.remote_addr which is None when i run tests through nosetests which uses app.test_client().post(\'/users/log

Answer 1

A friend gave me this solution, which works across all requests:

class myProxyHack(object):

    def __init__(self, app):
        self.app = app

    def __call__(self, environ, start_response):
        environ['REMOTE_ADDR'] = environ.get('REMOTE_ADDR', '127.0.0.1')
        return self.app(environ, start_response)

app.wsgi_app = myProxyHack(app.wsgi_app)

app.test_client().post(...)
