The following is a simple unit test using the request factory::
import unittest
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.test import TestCase
from django.test.client import RequestFactory
class SimpleTest(unittest.TestCase):
class SimpleTest(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
# Every test needs access to the request factory.
self.factory = RequestFactory()
self.user = User.objects.create_user(
first_name='jacob', email='jacob@…', password='top_secret')
def test_details(self):
# Create an instance of a GET request.
request = self.factory.get('/customer/details')
# Recall that middleware are not suported. You can simulate a
# logged-in user by setting request.user manually.
request.user = self.user
# Test my_view() as if it were deployed at /customer/details
response = my_view(request)
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)
