Hello Djangonauts
I'm a noob on both Django and Python, so this question might be easy
for the experts out there. I am trying to do test first development
during the development of my model code. (I have lots of experience
with test first coding in the Java world, no practical experience in
the Py world.)
I want to do something like this
class ModelTest(TestCase):
def test_crud_modelone(self):
mo = ModelOne( name="A name" )
mo.save()
saved_mo = mo.objects.get(pk=mo.id)
assertEqual( vars(mo), vars(saved_mo),"Something not getting saved")
That assertEqual line fails. I wrote this
def compare(self, obj1, obj2, verbose = False):
other = vars(obj2)
for d,v in vars(obj1).items():
if isinstance(other.get(d,None),datetime.date):
if not other.get(d,None) == v.date():
return False
elif not other.get(d,None) == v:
return False
return True
This is probably horrible python, I'm still learning (unlearning
Java), but it compares correctly for strings and dates so far that
I've tested.
My questions are 1) Does anything like this already exist in Python
or Django that I should use? 2) If not, would something like this be
valuable to polish up and commit to the Django project?
Some might be asking why I'm testing if my models can be saved, as
most of that functionality is tested when Django is tested. But, I
still feel there's a enough that I have to write to warrant a simple
sanity test like this.
