Hi all, I'm writing a doctest for a simple model and I can't get it to pass.
The problem seems to be that no matter how I enter the data into the test db, whether as a Unicode string or a utf-8 bytestring, and no matter what I tell my test to expect as a return value, the expected value is always rendered as a Unicode string (in this case a rendered Chinese character), whereas the value actually returned by the test is always a utf-8 bytestring. I'm using the latest django revision (6628), os x 10.4.10, python 2.5, a postgres 8.2, my test database is set to: TEST_DATABASE_CHARSET = 'utf8' in settings.py, and I've verified that the test database is indeed UTF8 after its been created. The models.py file has been saved in bbedit as a Unix file with UTF-8 encoding, and I put an explicit UTF-8 tag at the top of models.py for good measure. Here are my specific questions: 1.) Terminology: The expected result of the tests always seems to return '\xe4\xb8...' version of the chinese characters - this is the utf-8 bytestring, right? 2.) Am I entering the data correctly? I believe I correctly used both of the formats listed in the "Unicode data in Django" documentation (http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/unicode/). Is there a more correct way of entering the data? 3.) Any ideas on how I could change this simple test to make it pass? Thanks! If anyone wants to dig into this, the model.py and the test errors I got back are copied below. Here's the simplified model.py file with the tests: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from django.db import models class City(models.Model): """ A city in China with an English name and a name in Chinese characters. # Create a couple of test cities >>> beijing = City.objects.create( ... name_en='Beijing', ... name_cn=u'北京', ... ) >>> shanghai = City.objects.create( ... name_en='Shanghai', ... name_cn='\xe4\xb8\x8a\xe6\xb5\xb7', ... ) # Make sure the city was saved correctly # Test 1 expects Unicode string back >>> beijing.name_cn '北京' # Test 2 expects u prefixed Unicode string back >>> beijing.name_cn u'北京' # Test 3 expects UTF-8 bytestring back >>> beijing.name_cn '\xe5\x8c\x97\xe4\xba\xac' # Test 4 expects u prefixed UTF-8 bytestring back >>> beijing.name_cn u'\xe5\x8c\x97\xe4\xba\xac' # Test 5 expects Unicode string back >>> shanghai.name_cn '上海' # Test 6 expects u prefixed Unicode string back >>> shanghai.name_cn u'上海' # Test 7 expects UTF-8 bytestring back >>> shanghai.name_cn '\xe4\xb8\x8a\xe6\xb5\xb7' # Test 8 expects u prefixed UTF-8 bytestring back >>> shanghai.name_cn u'\xe4\xb8\x8a\xe6\xb5\xb7' """ name_en = models.CharField(u'English', maxlength=50, blank=True, null=True, help_text='The city display name in English', ) name_cn = models.CharField(u'Chinese', maxlength=50, blank=True, null=True, help_text='The city display name in Chinese', ) Here's the output from the 8 tests enumerated in the doctest string: ====================================================================== FAIL: Doctest: chinabites.city.models.City ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ python2.5/site-packages/django/test/_doctest.py", line 2169, in runTest raise self.failureException(self.format_failure(new.getvalue())) AssertionError: Failed doctest test for chinabites.city.models.City File "/home/django/projects/chinabites/../chinabites/city/ models.py", line 4, in City ---------------------------------------------------------------------- File "/home/django/projects/chinabites/../chinabites/city/models.py", line 22, in chinabites.city.models.City Failed example: beijing.name_cn Expected: '北京' Got: u'\xe5\x8c\x97\xe4\xba\xac' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- File "/home/django/projects/chinabites/../chinabites/city/models.py", line 26, in chinabites.city.models.City Failed example: beijing.name_cn Expected: u'北京' Got: u'\xe5\x8c\x97\xe4\xba\xac' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- File "/home/django/projects/chinabites/../chinabites/city/models.py", line 30, in chinabites.city.models.City Failed example: beijing.name_cn Expected: '北京' Got: u'\xe5\x8c\x97\xe4\xba\xac' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- File "/home/django/projects/chinabites/../chinabites/city/models.py", line 34, in chinabites.city.models.City Failed example: beijing.name_cn Expected: u'北京' Got: u'\xe5\x8c\x97\xe4\xba\xac' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- File "/home/django/projects/chinabites/../chinabites/city/models.py", line 38, in chinabites.city.models.City Failed example: shanghai.name_cn Expected: '上海' Got: '\xe4\xb8\x8a\xe6\xb5\xb7' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- File "/home/django/projects/chinabites/../chinabites/city/models.py", line 42, in chinabites.city.models.City Failed example: shanghai.name_cn Expected: u'上海' Got: '\xe4\xb8\x8a\xe6\xb5\xb7' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- File "/home/django/projects/chinabites/../chinabites/city/models.py", line 46, in chinabites.city.models.City Failed example: shanghai.name_cn Expected: '上海' Got: '\xe4\xb8\x8a\xe6\xb5\xb7' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- File "/home/django/projects/chinabites/../chinabites/city/models.py", line 50, in chinabites.city.models.City Failed example: shanghai.name_cn Expected: u'上海' Got: '\xe4\xb8\x8a\xe6\xb5\xb7' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 1 test in 0.013s --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
