Hi, I realize this topic is in a gray zone between django-users and django-developers, but I thought it'd be more fitting to post it here.
I needed to inject things into the session, and I'm not using regular sessions. I have my own session framework*, but the testing framework is rather tightly coupled with the built-in Django sessions. All I want to do with it - for now - is to have a simple dict as the session of the testing client. Normally, I'd just subclass django.test.TestCase, and change the part I need to change - simple programming! But this is more or less impossible with TestCase, because the part that sets up the client object is TestCase.__call__, which also contains other logics. So for me to be able to override the class used for the client object, I would have to *copy* the __call__ method from the actual .py file, paste and rewrite. IMHO that's a pretty strong indication that modularization isn't at its best. :-) I'm not sure how to modularize this either. A first step would be moving the line `self.client = Client()` from __call__ to _pre_setup. That way, one could subclass and upcall, then replace. That's virtually impossible currently. - Ludvig --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
