#django

this is the test https://dpaste.de/TKnM , self.manager is User in management group, and self.factory is RequestFactory

self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200, msg='Submitting should go smoothly')

a response of 200 means the data were rejected

you're not getting form_valid

yeah that.

when providing initial data for flatpages, should I do it with fixtures or with data migrations?

if you're not getting 302, you're never going to even call the method which raises ImproperlyConfigured

I'd like to let the user insert data for a model instance and one or more instances of a related one, in a "nice" way

where nice means something in the range of "don't use another window"

harmaahylje: use a data migration to load a fixture, if you like :)

anddam: so... you want an inline formset?

is using a formset and a little js to interactively add fields a proper approach?

anddam: yes

here's a good reference -- http://whoisnicoleharris.com/2015/01/06/impleme...

kezabelle: Like I said, I got no error in the test with the request, I got status 200 but the content had not been rendered, that happened with the same view manually

FunkyBob: it could be I need inline formset, I have to check the inline part in docs tho', give me a few minutes

yes and I just told you why you got no error

thanks for the link

FunkyBob: alright, I might as well try that, thanks

get_success_url() is never going to be called in your test, because you're not hitting form_valid so your .post() call isn't correct to test that the exception is raised

kezabelle: if the posted data is incorrect, I was hoping to see it in response.content

then render the content and check it, or check the context_data

Lynoure: well, that depends on yur template

also that, but I've presumed you have error notifications in your template :o)

kezabelle: ah, when test with the view directly, I need to render the content on test side? That was then what I was missing

or check the context data

but the response code is enough to know it wasn't accepted, since otherwise it would redirect you

kezabelle, Funky: Thank you both, sorry I got onto your nerves :(

you didn't get on mine; I can't speak for that one ;)

nah

we tend towards asking for code + traceback + "wtf you actually want to do" because its much easier to describe the actual problem when you know what is actually being inferred :)

but any time you join a channel, it pays to read the topic :)

i.e: you thought the problem was X, but we almost know for certain its Y, but we need to see Some Code or Error to tell you it's not X :)

I thought my problem was me using direct view testing wrong

but I linked things wrong in my head

indeed, and thats why we immediately ask for data point :)

so

who wants easily nestable auth mixins?

Surprisingly me not, I'm happy enough with UserPassesTestMixin

I was going to extend that a little

I am curious, I give you that

basically taking advantage of (a) the ability to walk up the inheritance chain, (b) the ability to get the class name, and (c) the little known feature of __foo attributes

name mangling? ewww you're dirty :p

kezabelle: :P

What kind of use cases are you looking to serve with it?

Lynoure: someone earlier was trying to stack userpassestest

My main need might be to have the test(s) for the view clearly stated in one place, for easy troubleshooting/customer service

Web dev, not django specific: as TamperData is not compatible with FF Quantum or 58, what do you use instead for tampering with requests?

Lynoure: i usually use httpie to generate requests from the command line

moldy: thanks

it seems that the built-in dev tools allow this, too

moldy: thanks again :) I think I'll stop worrying about it and check the state of the build-in tools when that version of FF hits debian stable

FunkyBob: are fields in ProfileManager assigned in the instance rather than class in order to prepopulate first and last name from current user?

btw that is an interesting blog

anddam: umm... wha?

anddam: which blog are you talking about? and which post?

FunkyBob: the one you suggested earlier, http://whoisnicoleharris.com/2015/01/06/impleme...

I've browser some more recent articles as well
