If my view uses this pattern for working with forms
appstruct = deform_form.validate(request.POST.items())
Then to unit test it I do something like this
post = collections.OrderedDict([
('somefield', 'somevalue'),
('__start__', 'somedate:mapping'),
('year', '1111'),
('month', '11'),
('day', '11'),
('__end__', 'somedate:mapping'),
]))
request = testing.DummyRequest(post=post)
response = views.someview(request)
With more complex forms this test code gets messy and less readable with
__start__, __end__, :sequence, :mapping all over the place.
I've skimmed through the code for peppercorn/deform/pyramid and I can find
ways to turn the POSTed values into an appstruct, but I can't find any way
to turn an appstruct into these peppercorn POST values. The closest hints I
could find is https://github.com/Pylons/deform/search?q=__start__ and
https://github.com/Pylons/deform/search?q=start_mapping
Is there a way to do something like
post = some_function({
'somefield': 'somevalue',
'somedate': some_date
})
request = testing.DummyRequest(post=post)
response = views.someview(request)
which would be equivalent to the first example? If not would it be a worthy
feature request for deform or peppercorn?
