how to get request object in django unit testing?
See this solution:
from django.utils import unittestfrom django.test.client import RequestFactoryclass SimpleTest(unittest.TestCase): def setUp(self): # Every test needs access to the request factory. self.factory = RequestFactory() def test_details(self): # Create an instance of a GET request. request = self.factory.get('/customer/details') # Test my_view() as if it were deployed at /customer/details response = my_view(request) self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)
If you are using django test client (from django.test.client import Client) you can access request from response object like this:
from django.test.client import Clientclient = Client()response = client.get(some_url)request = response.wsgi_requestor if you are using django.TestCase(from django.test import TestCase, SimpleTestCase, TransactionTestCase) you can access client instance in any testcase just by typing self.client:
response = self.client.get(some_url)request = response.wsgi_request
