This is a recent backwards-incompatible change in the development stream. The login method was changed to make it more robust, capable of supporting different authentication schemes, and less bound to templates. If you have Django 0.96 (or a pre-5152 SVN checkout), the old prototype will be correct, and you should consult the 0.96 docs (/documentation/0.96/testing/). If you have a post-5152 SVN checkout, the new prototype will be correct, and the docs on /documentation/testing/ will be correct. > 2. the response of c.get() has correct content but no context and no > template. Any possible explanation? There won't be any context or template objects in one of two circumstances: - No templates were used to render the content - The test case isn't being run in a test environment. The signal that capture template rendering information don't exist by default - they are installed as part of a test system startup script (setup_test_environment). If you are running the unit tests outside of './manage.py test', this script probably won't be called. > A NOTE to save time to people that may read this while trying to > debug the c.login.
