I finally did the following (using a storage with 'filename' and 'file'
attributes) without using webtest which seems to work :
> request.function='upload_photo'
resp = upload_photo()
photo = Storage()
photo.filename = os.path.basename(filename)
photo.file = open(filename)
set_vars(self.env, _formname = "photo_create",
file = photo,
description = desc,
_formkey = resp['form'].formkey,
)
resp = upload_photo()
print db(db.photo.id>0).select()
Thadeus, do you want a patch to test_runner documentation for this sort of
things (in a Howto section ?) ?
