Hi,
I've just started playing around with Django and have a question on
unittesting. The docs mention that tests are looked for in the
models.py files of applications and a tests.py file in the application
directory. This seems to let me write tests specific to the
application. However, when using django.test.client.Client, it uses
the project url configuration instead of just the application's.
For example, in the tutorial project I have a urls.py that looks like:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^admin/', include('django.contrib.admin.urls')),
(r'^polls/', include('mysite.polls.urls')),
)
And in polls/urls.py:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^$', 'django.views.generic.list_detail.object_list', info_dict),
...
However, in my polls/tests.py, I have to do something like the
following to get it working:
from django.test import TestCase
from django.test.client import Client
class SimpleTest(TestCase):
fixtures = ['polls/test_fixture.json']
def test_details(self):
response = self.client.get('/polls/1/')
...
My question is why does my test in polls need to know anything about
the root url configuration of the project? This seems to couple my
poll-specific unittest to the project and it would be cleaner to not
need to specify the '/polls/' url prefix. Also for my test fixture I
need to specify the 'polls/' subdirectory which also increases that
coupling.
This is probably just a minor nit, but I'm curious if I'm just doing
this wrong and whether others do it differently. I'm a little confused
as to how to organize my tests. Placing the unittest files within the
application directories when they actually require the root url config
seems strange to me.
Thanks,
Viraj.
