What is the clean way to unittest FileField in django?

Question

I have a model with a FileField. I want to unittest it. django test framework has great ways to manage database and emails. Is there something similar for FileFields?

Ho

Answer 1

If you just want to create an object that requires FileField and don't want to use this field then you can just pass any (existing or not) relative path like this:

example_object = models.ExampleModel({'file': "foo.bar"})
example_object.save()

Then it's ready for use.
