I have a test (APITestCase), and I need to specify custom headers:
class ListAppsAPITest(APITestCase):
def test_list_apps_versions(self):
response = self.client.get(reverse('api:applications:list'), None, **{'Device-Id': 'deadbeef'})
I've tried different combinations of arguments, but it did not work.
How to specify custom headers in tests?
Just because Django have they own way to define the header, you can take a look at here to see why and how to achieve that.
With the exception of CONTENT_LENGTH and CONTENT_TYPE, as given above, any HTTP headers in the request are converted to META keys by converting all characters to uppercase, replacing any hyphens with underscores and adding an HTTP_ prefix to the name. So, for example, a header called X-Bender would be mapped to the META key HTTP_X_BENDER.
In your case, like so:
class ListAppsAPITest(APITestCase):
def test_list_apps_versions(self):
response = self.client.get(reverse('api:applications:list'), None, **{'HTTP_DEVICE_ID': 'deadbeef'})
Hope that helps!
