How do I pass a PK or slug to a DetailView using RequestFactory in Django?

Question

I\'m trying to use RequestFactory to test a DetailView with the following test case:

def test_device_homepage(self):
    request = self.factory.get(\'/devices/1/         


        

Answer 1

Thanks to the #django channel on Freenode IRC, I found the following method is the correct one to pass parameters all the way through to the view:

response = DeviceView.as_view()(request, pk=1)

I hope this helps somebody else attempting to use RequestFactory to test DetailView or DeleteView etc
