Hi
I'm new to testing. Not to Django. To my shame.
I'm trying to test some m2m signals connections, so I have a
Inside your test class before writing tests you can have ...
def setUp(self):
jack = MaleAccountFactory()
jill = FemaleAccountFactory()
def tearDown(self):
( here delete jack and jill )
If you have those two methods named exactly as above, setUp() will be
called immediately before every test and tearDown() after every test.
def test_parent_account_creation(self):
# next two lines should not be here
jack = MaleAccountFactory()
jill = FemaleAccountFactory()
jack.parents.add(jill)
self.assertIn(jill, jack.parents.all())
#we should check that the reverse relationship has been created too
self.assertIn(jack, jill.children.all())
This works. Great.
But now I want to create a test for parent *removal*. So I tried this
without success:
def test_parent_account_removal(self):
# this line should not be here but it wouldn't work
# anyway because it should be self.test_parent_account_creation()
test_parent_account_creation()
# now we should remove jack as jill's parent
jack.parents.remove(jill)
self.assertNotIn(jill, jack.parents.all())
# and test that jill is not jack's child
self.assertNotIn(jack, jill.children.all())
Is there a way of calling previous tests to stay DRY? Or am I being a
fool and should just suck up the copy and paste?
Alternatively, am I being too obsessively modular and should I just
put the removal into the first test and change it's title to
test_parent_account(self)?
cheers
