Replying to [comment:1 Tim Graham]:
> I'm not really in favor of the additional complexity. In the admin
tests, for example, the problem is solved like this:

> response = <post request to create new object>
> new_user = User.objects.get(username='newuser')
> self.assertRedirects(response, reverse('admin:auth_user_change',
args=(new_user.pk,)))
> }}}
> Does that work for you?
I understand and am generally in agreement with keeping things simple...
While your suggestion would generally work (I think at least, I haven't
tried it), it feels like it would be easier (from the developers pov) to
be able to test if a redirect matched a url pattern, or one of the new url
matching.. (objects?), in addition to simply matching a string. that way
a developer could be as specific (or fuzzy) as they wished. and it would
directly link back to checking the url patterns as well.
The ability to pull out the string is nice, but not really crucial to the
specific feature request.
I would not put this as a critical feature request, but perhaps a bit more
than a "nice to have".
