Testing if logged-in users see unpublished questions

Viewed 46

EDIT


Here is my test:

def test_admin_sees_unpublished_questions(self):
    """
    Logged-in admin users see unpublished questions on the index page.
    """
    # create admin user and log her in
    password = 'password'
    my_admin = User.objects.create_superuser('myuser', 'myemail@test.com', password)
    user = authenticate(username="myuser", password="password")
    if user is not None:
        print(user.username)
    else:
        print('Not found!')
    self.client.login(username=my_admin.username, password=password)
    #create future question and check she can see it
    create_question(question_text="Unpublished question.", days=5)
    response = self.client.get(reverse('polls:index'))
    self.assertContains('Please review these unpublished questions:')
    self.assertEqual(response.context["user"], user)
    self.assertQuerysetEqual(
        response.context['unpublished_question_list'],
        ['<Question: Unpublished question.>']
    )

It's a bit messy. There are a few lines checking if there is a user in context which all appear to show response.context["user"] is there.

Here is my view:


class IndexView(generic.ListView):
    template_name = 'polls/index.html'

    def get_queryset(self):
        """
        Return the last five published questions (not including those set to be
        published in the future).
        """

        queryset = Question.objects.filter(
                        pub_date__lte=timezone.now()
                    ).exclude(
                        #question without choices
                        choice=None
                    ).order_by('-pub_date')[:5]
        return queryset

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        """
        Override get_context_data to add another variable to the context.
        """
        context = super(IndexView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['unpublished_question_list'] = Question.objects.filter(pub_date__gte=timezone.now())
        print(context)
        return context

I am writing tests for the django polls app tutorial.

I want to write a test which which logs in a user, creates an instance of the question model with a publish date in the future, and ensures that this logged in user can see this question.

I've tried using

self.assertContains('Please review these unpublished questions: ') 

in the test method because my template looks like this:

{% if user.is_authenticated %}
        <p>Hello, {{ user.username }}. Please review these unpublished questions: </p>
        {% if unpublished_question_list %} etc

but even though

self.assertEqual(response.context["user"], user)

passes testing after

self.client.login(username=my_admin.username, password=password)

my template doesn't seem to be rendering properly to the test client.

Some help would be much appreciated!

AssertionError: False is not true : Couldn't find 'Please review these unpublished questions: ' in response
