Thanks for telling me about TemplateResponse.
After experimenting for a while I have found that unless you call the
required URL through self.client.get() the templates variable is not
available whatever type of HttpResponse I use. In this case I am
calling the view directly because of the need to add something extra
to the request as mentioned before. The code is question looks like
this:
self.factory = RequestFactory()
request = self.factory.get('/')
request.subdomain = 'Something'
response = send_to_view(request, page=None)
response.render()
self.assertContains(response, 'SwanLotus | Something')
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)
self.assertTemplateUsed(response, 'something/something.html')
The two assertions above pass but self.assertTemplateUsed() still
gives an error:
template_names = [t.name for t in response.templates]
AttributeError: 'TemplateResponse' object has no attribute
'templates'.
Have you seen this happen in your experience? I am thinking of taking
a look at
the django source to see what client.get() does different.
Thanks,
Yours sincerely,
nav
