Hi,
I am new to Django and Python...That is not a very good point for me to
start up a new Django based web application. I am trying my best to learn
how to work with Django. If this is a stupid question, please forgive my
ignorance.
How could I send a xml payload by Django test client to my application?
Here is the code of the class based view I wrote for receiving the xml file.
class NewReport(View):
def post(self, request):
rawdata = request.body
## cannot accept the request if body is null
if (not rawdata):
return HttpResponse('naked body')
reportraw = ReportRaw(rawdata)
reportraw.save()
return HttpResponse('ok')
Here is the test code.
class ReportRawTests(TestCase):
def test_new_view_with_no_data(self):
"""
If no report embedded in a request.body, an appropriate error
code should be displayed.
"""
response = self.client.post(reverse('new'), {}) #### cause
exception
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)
self.assertContains(response, "naked body")
As the comment describes, the test is about how server side should response
to a request which has no report data inside. The expected behaviour is
that the server will return 'naked body' string in response object.
However, the test code cannot work and I got exceptions. How could I send a
real xml payload with the test client? What about a empty payload?
Best regards,
/Adam
