I'm having a problem with the cookies from a Client() disappearing.
Here is the example I'm working with (also on dpaste:
http://dpaste.com/hold/69285/)
# This method works as expected. It does not lose any
# cookie information.
def followRedirect_working(response, expected_url):
"""
Do a GET on the URL from a redirected response
and return that response.
"""
# I can't use the assertions outside of a class.
#self.assertRedirects(response, expected_url)
#self.assert_('Location' in response)
redirect_url = response['Location']
scheme, netloc, path, query, fragment = urlsplit(redirect_url)
# Get the redirection page, using the same client that was used
# to obtain the original response.
redirect_response = response.client.get(path, QueryDict(query))
return redirect_response
# This is my base class. I extend this in all of my actual tests.
# I need a bunch of "helper" methods in all of my actual tests, so
# I define them here so I don't have to redefine them in every class.
class NewsBaseTestCase(TestCase):
# This is the method that doesn't work
def followRedirect_does_not_work(self, client, response,
expected_url):
"""
Do a GET on the URL from a redirected response
and return that response.
"""
self.assertRedirects(response, expected_url)
self.assert_('Location' in response)
redirect_url = response['Location']
scheme, netloc, path, query, fragment = urlsplit(redirect_url)
# Get the redirection page, using the same client that was used
# to obtain the original response.
redirect_response = client.get(path, QueryDict(query))
return redirect_response
# This is the method that is extending my base class.
# I have a lot of methods like this, and I want them all to
# be able to access the followRedirect_does_not_work() method,
# but I don't want to have to repeat myself and rewrite it for
# all of them. So, I just make all of my test classes extend
# the base class.
class NewsLoginTests(NewsBaseTestCase):
"""
Tests for dealing with logging in, creating users, etc.
"""
def testCreateAccount(self):
"""
Test the create_account view.
"""
create_account_view = '/create_account'
# if our username is not valid (we should be redirected back
# to the login page, but our failed username should still be
# in the box).
# (This view will set some session variables that are read
# when the redirected page is loaded. Therefore I need the
# to get the session id to get the session variables).
response = self.client.post(create_account_view,
{'username':"asefasef.", 'password': "lalala",
'next':
reverse('news.views_news_items.index')})
print response.cookies
redirect_response = followRedirect_does_not_work(response,
reverse('news.views_login.login_view') +
'?next=' +
reverse('news.views_news_items.index'))
print redirect_response.cookies
# response.cookies and redirect_response.cookies are the same
# when using followRedirect_working(), but they are different
# when using self.followRedirect_does_not_work(). Obviously,
# I need them to be the same so that I can access session
# variables.
I want to be able to have followRedirect() in my super class, but it
doesn't work there. I have to have it outside of all the classes.
Otherwise the cookies will not persist with I do the
`redirect_response = response.client.get('/login')`.
What am I doing wrong? Is it a bug in Django?
