Problem when getting 'Authorization' header on test Flask application with FlaskClient
I believe this may be to do with the way HTTP requests process headers, where they capitalise them and add HTTP_ as a prefix. Try changing your header to HTTP_AUTHORIZATION instead of just Authorization, since the test client will not be setting this properly.
I'm sorry guys for this silly question.Now I've figure the answer out.The problem was that I was trying to do a GET request in a view that is using a POST method.
I've just replaced the request from
response = self.app.get('/sign_in', headers=headers)
to
response = self.app.post('/sign_in', headers=headers)
and now it started to work.
I will let this question here in case of someone gets the same silly error.
Thank you so much.
If similar issue for DRF clients, You can use,
client = APIClient()client.credentials(HTTP_AUTHORIZATION='Token {token}'.format(token=token))Ref: https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/testing/#credentialskwargs
