Hi again Malcolm,
I think making assertions in the test client is wrong for most situations,
though I can't (of course) say much about your specific case; so I'm -1 on
adding the testcase as a client initializer argument (this would send the
message that such things are encouraged).
However, note that the only use of the client_class attribute in the Django
code is in the simple invocation:
self.client = self.client_class()
which means you can achieve your goal, with no change to Django code, using
this (admittedly, a little abusive) hack:
class MyTestBase(TestCase):
def client_class(self):
return MyTestClient(self)
If your own code refers to self.client_class and expects to have access to its
attributes, you can still arrange it with a little more effort (an elaborate
and transparent way, using a descriptor, and a simple way, using another
attribute, are both left as an exercise to the reader).
HTH,
Shai.
