Hi again Malcolm, I think making assertions in the test client is wrong for most situations, though I can't (of course) say much about your specific case; so I'm -1 on adding the testcase as a client initializer argument (this would send the message that such things are encouraged).
However, note that the only use of the client_class attribute in the Django code is in the simple invocation: self.client = self.client_class() which means you can achieve your goal, with no change to Django code, using this (admittedly, a little abusive) hack: class MyTestBase(TestCase): def client_class(self): return MyTestClient(self) If your own code refers to self.client_class and expects to have access to its attributes, you can still arrange it with a little more effort (an elaborate and transparent way, using a descriptor, and a simple way, using another attribute, are both left as an exercise to the reader).
