Test UpdateView for useraccounts application - django

Question

Test doesn't give status_code 302 in user profile UpdateView and so there's no updates occurs on the object
the model code
class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
'''
This a replaced user profile instead of the default django one
'''
language_choices=[('en',_('English')),('se',_('Swedish'))]
email=models.CharField(verbose_name=_('Email'), max_length=128, blank=False, unique=True)
first_name=models.CharField(verbose_name=_('First Name'), max_length=128)
last_name=models.CharField(verbose_name=_('Last Name'), max_length=128)
joined_at=models.DateField(
verbose_name=_('Joined at'),
auto_now_add=True,
blank=False
)
language=models.CharField(
verbose_name=_('Language'),
max_length=2,
choices=language_choices,
default=language_choices[0][0]
)
active=models.BooleanField(verbose_name=_('Active'), default=False)
is_superuser=models.BooleanField(verbose_name=_('Is Superuser'), default=False)
is_active=models.BooleanField(verbose_name=_('Is Active'), default=True)
is_staff=models.BooleanField(verbose_name=_('Is Staff'), default=False)
The form code
class EditUserForm(UserChangeForm):
'''
Profile form to update existing user information
'''
# error message for email matches
error_messages = {
'email_mismatch': _("The two email fields didn't match."),
}
# create field for email
email1 = forms.EmailField(
label=_("Email"),
widget=forms.EmailInput,
help_text=_("If you change your email your account will be inactive untill your reactivate by email link."),
)
# get the email from confirmed email field
email2 = forms.EmailField(
label=_("Confirm Email"),
widget=forms.EmailInput,
help_text=_("Enter the same email as before, for verification."),
)
# hide password field
password = ReadOnlyPasswordHashField(label="Password")
class Meta:
'''
Initial fields and model for the form
'''
model = models.User
fields = ('first_name','last_name','email1','email2', 'language')
def clean_email2(self):
'''
Method for if email and confirmed email are the same
This method works when confirmed email cleared
'''
# get the email from email field
email1 = self.cleaned_data.get("email1")
# get the email from confirmed email field
email2 = self.cleaned_data.get("email2")
# check if both emails are equal
if email1 and email2 and BaseUserManager.normalize_email(email1) != BaseUserManager.normalize_email(email2):
# give an error message if emails not matches
raise forms.ValidationError(
self.error_messages['email_mismatch'],
code='email_mismatch')
# return the confirmed email
return BaseUserManager.normalize_email(email2)
def save(self, commit=True):
'''
Method tosave the edited user data
'''
# get the initial method
user = super().save(commit=False)
# set the email on the model field
user.email = self.cleaned_data["email1"]
# save edited user data
if commit:
user.save()
return user
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
'''
Method for initial values and functions for the SignUp form class
'''
# get user data from User model
user = get_user_model().objects.get(email=kwargs['instance'])
# get the initial form class values
super(EditUserForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
# Add the current email as the inital email
self.fields['email1'].initial = user.email
# Add the current email as the intial confirmed email
self.fields['email2'].initial = user.email
# Add help text in the password field for change
self.fields['password'].help_text=(
_("Raw passwords are not stored, so there is no way to see "
"this user's password, but you can change the password "
"using this form.")
.format(reverse(
'core:ChangePassword',
kwargs={'pk':user.pk})))
and the view code
class EditUser(UserPassesTestMixin, UpdateView):
'''
Class view to update user details
'''
# used template
template_name = 'core/edit.html'
# View model
model = models.User
# View form
form_class = forms.EditUserForm
def test_func(self):
return self.request.user == get_user_model().objects.get(pk=self.kwargs['pk'])
def get_success_url(self):
'''
Metho to redirect after a valid form
'''
# check if the email is verified
if self.request.user.active:
# get the user key
pk=self.request.user.pk
# redirect to profile details
return reverse_lazy('core:details', kwargs={'pk':pk})
else:
# send a verification email
return SendActivationEmail(self.request, self.request.user)
the test code
self.viewuser_url = reverse('core:details', kwargs={'pk':self.user.pk})
self.edituser_url = reverse('core:edit', kwargs={'pk':self.user.pk})
def test_edit_user_post(self):
first_name = 'Osama'
response = self.client.post(self.edituser_url,
data={
'first_name': first_name,
'last_name': self.last_name,
'email': self.email,
})
self.assertRedirects(response, self.viewuser_url)
self.user.refresh_from_db()
self.assertEqual(self.user.first_name, first_name)
I tried to get assertEqual for the status code and it gitves me 200 instead of 302
also I tried to enter the form details instead of model details and it gives me an error
The get test works fine and also permission test works great.. all the models, forms and urls test works perfect.
I don't know how I can test this..

If the form isn't valid, then the form will be re-rendered with errors and you'll get a 200 response.
To debug the problem, check response.context['form'].errors in your test to see what the problem is.
response = self.client.post(self.edituser_url,
data={
'first_name': first_name,
'last_name': self.last_name,
'email': self.email,
})
print(response.context['form'].errors
Your view uses EditUserForm, but you are not posting any values for email1 or email2, so there is probably something in the errors about missing data.
