django how to assert url pattern resolves to correct class based view function

问题

I have a class based view

class HomePage(View):
   def get(self, request):
       return HttpResponse('<p>This is content.</p>')

and url-pattern defined as below:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
                  url(r'^$', HomePage.as_view()),
              )

To this pattern resolves to current view function, I wrote a test like this:

class HomePageTest(TestCase):

def test_root_url_resolves_to_home_page_view(self):
    found = resolve('/')
    self.assertIsInstance(found.func, HomePage)

By running this unittest I am getting following error:

self.assertIsInstance(found.func, HomePage)
AssertionError: <function HomePage at 0x7f85dd2c7840> is not an instance of <class 'web.views.HomePage'>

Any Idea how to test this case?

回答1:

Resolve will return the function that is returned when calling HomePage.as_view(), and not an object of that type. However, from a quick test there may be a way that you could write this test:

self.assertEquals(found.func.func_name, HomePage.__name__)

Note that here we specify HomePage.__name__ instead of 'HomePage' because this will get picked up if the name of the class is changed using refactoring tools.

The downside of this is, should you have wired up a view class with the same name but from a different module, this unit test would not fail. Of course this is more of a risk with a generic view class name such as HomePage but should be less of a risk with other view classes.

回答2:

Django's View.as_view() creates a function with a view_class attribute which points to the class-based view. So use:

self.assertEquals(found.func.view_class, HomePage)

Avoids the problem of two class-based views in different modules with the same name.

May be it's an old question, but in django>=1.8 assertion like

self.assertEquals(found.func.func_name, HomePage.__name__)

AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'func_name' so I changed it to

self.assertEqual(found.func.__name__, HomePage.__name__)

I did it another way because Valentjedi did not work for me; I did .:

class HomePageTest(TestCase):
    def test_root_url_resolves_to_home_page_view(self):
        found = resolve('/')
        self.assertEqual(found.view_name, "home")

Hope it helps
