FunkyBob: the way i described =) reverse() returns something like '/myapp/myurl' while the one in the response of a self.app.get() (i'm using WebTest) would be http://localhost:80/myapp/myurl (with the testserver address)

I don't know what WebTest is... or how self.app.get() generates urls

so I still don't know the difference

hi, i am trying to do something when saving a object for a model and i dont know if i am doing it correctly or not, in the code i explain what i want to do: http://pastebin.com/33dJGUZ2 , basically i am trying to auto select a related object from other model using datefield but if there is not one for that date i want clone last one for that date and use it, the problem is when there is not anything i

need to tell the user he need make the first one.

FunkyBob: it's the same with django testclient, i believe - only the urls become http://testserver/myapp/myurl (self.app.get() is equivalent to self.client.get())

(I just checked and I can confirm that that's the case)

so, as far as I can tell, I can either manipulate the strings to compare them (perhaps prepending the "testserver" address to the reverse()d URL, but I can't find the reference on how to retrieve its address) or I can use resolve(), and I was wondering if there was any best practice

what aspect of the response are you even testing?

IIRC LiveServer always uses testserver as it's address, FWIW

kezabelle: in this specific case I'm checking that a url is actually the get_absolute_url of an object

really, it's not a major issue (i've done it in the past by removiing the http://localhost:80/ bit, for instance)

so you're doing something like self.client.get(obj.get_absolute_url()) …. and then testing what?

but perhaps there are other, more standard ways

you coud use the urlparse lib

kezabelle: yeah, that's what I don't get

pgcd: what are you trying to compare to what, and why?

kezabelle: nope, i'm checking if the link generated in a feed is actually the correct one

do response headers even return the path you requested? can't imagine what the point'd be outside of a redirect

right

i'm going through a TDD-style thingy phase

and yeah, redirects are another very common scenario

so you want to get the <loc> or whatever the xml element is, and then urlparse it and get the .path out of the namedtuple-ish thing

the point is that I *know* that they are the same

kezabelle: no, no

ideally i'd just like to have a reliable way of getting that http://testserver/ string or http://localhost:80/ string

i really just want to compare two strings, if at all possible =)

so... wait... are you just trying to test if a redirect happens?

nah

Need help: i will add post update delete logic to my blog post view, what is better way to do it:

writing separate view for each action, and put form in context,

or override get post, and add update, delete methods in my View

I use Class Based Views

trying to assert that the URLs in a feed (XML or whatever) align with those get_absolute_url calls

if you want to parse urls... use the urlparse lib

urlparse(thing).path == obj.get_absolute_url() done

this is the relevant bit https://dpaste.de/AGYS

urlparse(item.find('link').text).path

kezabelle: ok, makes sense and it's probably a lot easier to understand for whoever reads the test

bonus is you can also test the scheme, netloc etc too if you really want to

also means you can end up with querystring items in the feed and still be clear it represents the same object

kezabelle: yep, that's very true =)

Hello everyone

could you help me to solve problem with CSS with django?

im fallowing tutorial part 1, and my admin panel doesnt accept static CSS file as CSS

Chrome console show me this error: Resource interpreted as Stylesheet but transferred with MIME type text/plain: "http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/admin/css/base.css".

what should i do to fix it?

Vadims: are you using runserver?

yes

evrything step by step what says in tutorial

my main page where it says "it works" works fine and CSS applied

however admin panel broken, no CSS at all

Vadims: open http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/admin/css/base.css in your browser

shows me CSS content

:\

what does it mean? the file is there as far as i see, in correct path, however it should be accepted as [type="text/css"] but used as [text/plain]

Vadims: oh wait, do you have DEBUG set to True?

yes i do

You're seeing this message because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file and you haven't configured any URLs. Get to work!

yeah, no idea tbh, never seen that

i google a bit this problem, however there were problems more with javascript then css

but looks very similar

hey guys, wondering if anyone can help with my question on SO regarding production deployment of multiple mprojects on one apache server? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23394726/two...

but most of the answers related to the users projects which they creat - so problem is specific. in my case i didnt create anything.... it is just basic tutorial

Hello i have some problem with nginx and gunicorn. I like to use gevent but it seems like my config is not correct. Using one worker and a long running django call blocks other calls to the app. Does someone see some error in my config files? Nginx: http://dpaste.de/Dfi5 and gunicorn http://dpaste.de/UAqH
