I was looking around the net cause i am afraid i cannot
sleep if i dont solve it tonight :D
At least i am more confused now.
I found an example for a unittest which uses
failUnlessRaises():
def raises_error(*args, **kwds):
print args, kwds
raise ValueError('Invalid value: ' + str(args) + str(kwds))
class ExceptionTest(unittest.TestCase):
def testFailUnlessRaises(self):
self.failUnlessRaises(ValueError, raises_error, 'a', b='c')
If i understand that right i have to submit the values
to the method raises_error from my testmethod which i want to check.
I am more confused now. How can i submit a post request with
given data to a method? In this case the raises_error method?
And how can i catch the error that a form field has to be
filled with some data?
At least i am questioning myself if failUnlessRaises
is available in django the way i want to use it.
So i am wondering how i can achieve to test
a form to throw an error?
