i need to start doing tests at work tomorrow. what are some good resources to learn how to test?

theology: pytest docs are good! There's a book detailing TDD with Django somewhere too

theology: https://www.obeythetestinggoat.com/book/part1.h...

theology: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/t...

theology: if you are starting to do tests, there's probably an existing code base? then you should probably also learn about refactoring

legacy code bases without tests are usually impossible to test "correctly"

nkuttler, its a cron job script thats about 250 lines of code

oh my, i thought it was a django app..

nkuttler, its new

nkuttler, it is

nkuttler, cron job script adds data to database, django interface

sounds like your script should be a management command?

nkuttler, its a cron job

nkuttler, it runs every night to add new data to the database from an api at a college

nkuttler, their db sucks so we're creating a new one or something

How do I remove an object from an existing queryset? I have a variable pointing to the desired object.

If you turn it into a list you can delete elements.

that might work for me

hey, i defined the url pattern logout like so: url(r'^logout/$', views.logout, name='logout'), and the view is just def logout(request): blah blah blah

i'm getting logout() missing 1 required positional argument: 'request'

what could i be doing wrong?

never mind i was being dumb with naming haha

Hey

FunkyBob: using django-nap for a new project

ycon_: A fine choice!

laudiacay: IIRC there are existing logout/logout_then_login views that you could use in django.contrib.auth

hrrrrrrngh

inspectdb is very handy. it created exactly the schema I wanted for an existing .sqlite file. Unfortunately it did not pick up on relations, primary keys, etc so I need to specify those myself...

Disavowed: whats the major advantage over DRF?

ycon_ FunkyBob will be able to delineate the advantages much better than I can, but as I understand it, it's lighter, simpler to use and was written by one of the greatest Django devs in history!
