Hi all,
I am writing some unit tests using the django.test.client.Client to
send requests to my views. I'm using django 1.0 final
I am having problems when sending a post request though. Here is my
code:
post_content_type = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
data = {}
data['username'] = 'testuser'
data['email'] = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
data['password1'] = 'testpassword'
data['password2'] = 'testpassword2'
response = self.client.post(self.registration_url, data,
self.post_content_type)
And the exception I get when I run the test:
======================================================================
ERROR: test_post_valid_form
(registration.unittests.views_tests.RegistrationViewsTestCase)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/....../registration/unittests/views_tests.py", line 34, in
test_post_valid_form
self.post_content_type)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/test/client.py", line
281, in post
'wsgi.input': FakePayload(post_data),
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/test/client.py", line
34, in __init__
self.__content = StringIO(content)
TypeError: expected read buffer, dict found
I had a look at the client.py code and found that it does:
try:
from cStringIO import StringIO
except ImportError:
from StringIO import StringIO
then, in the post method:
def post(self, path, data={}, content_type=MULTIPART_CONTENT,
**extra):
if content_type is MULTIPART_CONTENT:
post_data = encode_multipart(BOUNDARY, data)
else:
post_data = data
r = {
...
...
'wsgi.input': FakePayload(post_data),
}
Now in the FakePayload class we have :
def __init__(self, content):
self.__content = StringIO(content)
which is line 34, pointed as the culprit in the exception trace
I tried from the interpreter to do:
>>>d = {}
>>>d['a'] = 'b'
>>>StringIO.StringIO(d)
and it works
If I then do
>>>cStringIO.StringIO(d)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: expected read buffer, dict found
My conclusion is that my client.py imports StringIO from cStringIO,
which doesn't accept a dict as content in its __init__ method. But I
can't be the only person using django to have cStringIO installed,
right? So someone would have seen and reported that problem already.
So, am I doing something wrong in creating my dict for the post data?
