Django Test Client post() returns 302 despite error on view's post()
It's not totally clear why you're getting a redirect, but if you want to follow it you need to tell RequestClient to follow redirects - per the documentation:
If you set
followtoTruethe client will follow any redirects and aredirect_chainattribute will be set in the response object containingtuples of the intermediate urls and status codes.
So your test code should look like:
response = client.post("/app/mymodel/create/", follow=True)It'd be worth checking the request chain to see where exactly it was routed.
