One of my applications has a view that uses a random number generator.
I am having some trouble passing a mock random generator to the view
for testing purposes.
I am relying on the mock object to get predictable results for testing
the view's logic.
After several attempts I came up with an URL that looks like this:
from project.app.lib import RandomNumberGenerator
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^total/$', 'project.app.views.sum_of_random_numbers',
{'generator': RandomNumberGenerator() }),
)
My view:
def sum_of_random_numbers(request, generator):
random_number = generator().random_number()
if random_number == 1:
# Render etc.
# elif etc.
Here is my test:
from django.test import Client
client = Client()
response = client.post('/total/', {'choice': 'random'})
I would like to pass a mock object as the 'generator' argument. How
should I go about this?
Are there any better ways to achieve what I am trying to do?
Any help would be welcome.
