I had a lot of problems finding out why I cannot use request.user in my
tests while using RequestFactory.
this line in the documentation
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/testing/#the-request-
factory) seems to say it:
It does not support middleware. Session and authentication attributes must
be supplied by the test itself if required for the view to function
properly.
But it would be nice to have an example with a user added, like:
class TestCaseWithUser(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
# Every test needs access to the request factory.
self.factory = RequestFactory()
self.client = Client()
self.user_foo = User.objects.create_user('foo', '[email protected]',
'bar')
def tearDown(self):
# Delete those objects that are saved in setup
self.user_foo.delete()
def test_request_user(self):
self.client.login( username='foo', password='bar')
request = self.factory.post('/my/url/', {"somedata": "data"})
# add a user so in the view to test request.user works
request.user = self.user_foo
nt.assert_equal(request.user,self.user_foo)
