Oh, sorry. A bit of misunderstanding and miscommunication on my part. The exemple I gave is just a quick way to reproduce my problem. The real test use self.client, reverse, cast response.content to a string. What I gave is a minimal exemple.
Also, I assumed you talked about comparing bit of html element, not the raw content returned by the view. I'm quite uneasy to have the test failing if a class is added or removed from the element. But yes, your solution work for the current state of the application. 2016-07-31 14:46 GMT+02:00 Andreas Kuhne <[email protected]>: > 2016-07-31 13:56 GMT+02:00 ludovic coues <[email protected]>: >> >> First, thanks for the suggestion. >> >> I just tried that, didn't work. >> Here is the test file I used: >> >> >> from django.test import TestCase >> >> class HTMLTestCase(TestCase): >> >> def test_input_in_fieldset(self): >> fieldset = """ >> <fieldset class="form-group"> >> <input name="login"> >> <input autofocus="" class="form-control" id="id_username" >> maxlength="254" name="username" rows="3" type="text" required /> >> </fieldset> >> """ >> self.assertInHTML('<input name=login>', fieldset) >> self.assertInHTML('<input name="username">', fieldset) >> >> >> First input is to have a working exemple, second is taken as is from >> my view.
