assertTemplateUsed -> No templates used to render the response

[Simone Cittadini]

I'm doing some "poke around" tests just to get used to the framework, 
this error I can't understand :

Wrote a login view :

user = auth.authenticate(username=request.POST['username'],
                                         password=request.POST['password'])
if user is not None:
  if user.is_active:
    auth.login(request, user)
    return HttpResponseRedirect('/index/')
  else:
    return render_to_response('profiles/disabled.html', locals(), 
RequestContext(request, {}))


If I "manually test" logging in with a disabled user I get this trace :

[21/Dec/2007 11:57:41] "GET /index HTTP/1.1" 301 0
[21/Dec/2007 11:57:41] "GET /index/ HTTP/1.1" 200 1654
[21/Dec/2007 11:57:43] "GET /profiles/login/ HTTP/1.1" 200 2040
[21/Dec/2007 11:57:53] "POST /profiles/login/ HTTP/1.1" 200 1684

and the browser shows the profiles/disabled.html page


While this test method fails:

def testLoginDisabledUser(self):
        response = self.client.post('/profiles/login/', {'username': 
'user', 'password': 'pass'})
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 302)
        self.assertTemplateUsed(response, 'profiles/disabled.html')

First of all I don't understand why the 302 I expected 200, put there 
just to go on, and then :

    self.assertTemplateUsed(response, 'profiles/disabled.html')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/test/testcases.py", line 
178, in assertTemplateUsed
    self.fail('No templates used to render the response')
AssertionError: No templates used to render the response

Where exactly this test is different from my manual login ? (and 
therefore evidently not testing what I want ?)



(other code)

urls.py :

urlpatterns += patterns('dissipate.views',
    (r'^index/$',
     'index'),
)

urlpatterns += patterns('dissipate.profiles.views',
    (r'^profiles/login/$',
     'login'),
    (r'^profiles/logout/$',
     'logout'),
)


disabled.html :
{% extends "base.html" %}

{% block content %}

<p>Disabled</p>

{% endblock %}
