RESTful web service unit tests

[Bruno Ripa]

Hi all,


  i am writing some tests to test a RESTful api i have written
(Django 1.3, using piston, python 2.6.5).

The url is basically: /api/products and you need to be logged to
access it.

We can use such api, via curl PUT query (the client code uses pycurl
to access the ws).

It works in production / development, but not the tests.

So far i've tried:

1. send credentials to the web service when doing the PUT request
2. successfully login, and consequentely contact the ws

in both cases, the response is an Authorization Required and status
code is 401.

Btw, i am using follow = True (and so i have a redirect chain with a
301 status).

I am pretty sure i am doing something wrong, but can't spot it.

Any help ?

Thanks in advance,
  B.
N.b.: here is the code i'm using to test:


class CommunicationTests(TestCase):
   """
   """

   def setUp(self):
   """
   """

   admin = User.objects.create_user('admin',
'admin@some','admin')
   admin.is_staff = True
   admin.save()


   self._client = client.Client()

   self._connected = self._client.login(username="admin",
password="admin")

   def test_contactWS(self):
   """
   """

   self.assertTrue(self._connected)

   credentials = {
   "username":"admin",
   "password":"admin"
   }

   response = self._client.put(path="/api/products",follow=True,
**credentials)

Ofc, i am changing very often this code to make tests, not all the
scenarios are reported here.

P.s.: sorry to the people reading again this mail, sent before to the
wrong list.

Re: Best django ecommerce aplication?

[Bruno Ripa]

Hi,

   we used satchmo for several ecommerce applications, integrating several
technologies:

- satchmo for ecommerce
- Plone for content management
- xdv (now diazo) for the presentation layer

It is of course a good product, but it needs some tuning and at least a
little/medium rethinking of the admin interface: customers look for
something "smart enough" to help them managing the shop, not a simple list
of the features of the shop (admin interface is implemented as a simple
enumeration of its features).

Anyway, we are evaluating http://www.getlfs.com/ (Lighting Fast Shop),
another implementation of ecommerce shop, based on django.

It "ships" with a better idea of interfaces, even if based on older contepts
- like floating menus - but maybe it is what a casual web surfer with
commerce needs looks for.

Hope this helps.

Re: Best django ecommerce aplication?

[Bruno Ripa]

Hi,

   i meant that such interfaces is closer to "windows-app-style" than to web
structures, simply as that.

Anyway, customers recognize that, and appreciate.

+1 for lfs for that.
