Hi, well, I'm new to django (coming from rails hehe), and I'm trying to develop using a test-driven approach. I'm facing a problem trying to emulate an existing session in a "functional" test.
There is a related problem here (http://groups.google.com/group/django- users/browse_thread/thread/701a39672fc274a9/a75ef6fb3813e5ad), but it seems to be a little bit outdated, and isn't exactly what I'm looking for. I simply want the Client to "fake" some values in the session. I want to write in my test: self.client.session['key'] = 'value' self.client.session.save() response = self.client.post('/my_url', {}) #here, request.session['key'] should have 'value' This code doesn't work. It needs some 'initialization'. What I ended up doing looks like this: #a view that only sets request.session.modified = True in order to save the session #and get the session_cookie self.client.get('') engine = __import__(settings.SESSION_ENGINE, {}, {}, ['']) session_cookie = self.client.cookies.get(settings.SESSION_COOKIE_NAME).value self.client.session = engine.SessionStore(session_cookie) After this "initialization" (I put this on the setUp), the first snippet works like expected. Is there a better way to do it? I couldn't figure out anything simpler.
