I am trying to extend the polls tutorial code to use a django form with tests.
I created this form, but ran into some issues when trying to test it. When looking up how to test it, I found this form from http://toastdriven.com/blog/2011/apr/17/guide-to-testing-in-django-2/ It also had tests. When I try to run those tests on my form I get the error "_VoteForm is not callable" "AttributeError: '_VoteForm' object has no attribute 'instance'" Which form is preferred? How can I write similar tests for _VoteForm #my form def vote_form_class(poll): choices = [(i.id, _(i.choice_text)) for i in poll.choices.all()] class _VoteForm(forms.Form): vote = forms.ChoiceField(choices=choices, widget=forms.RadioSelect()) def save(self): if not self.is_valid(): raise forms.ValidationError("Poll Form was not validated before .save()") data = self.cleaned_data choice_id = data['vote'] choice = Choice.objects.get(id=choice_id) choice.record_vote() return _VoteForm #form with tests class PollForm(forms.Form): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): # We require an ``instance`` parameter. self.instance = kwargs.pop('instance') # We call ``super`` (without the ``instance`` param) to finish # off the setup. super(PollForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) # We add on a ``choice`` field based on the instance we've got. # This has to be done here (instead of declaratively) because the # ``Poll`` instance will change from request to request. self.fields['choice'] = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Choice.objects.filter(poll=self.instance.pk), empty_label=None, widget=forms.RadioSelect) def save(self): if not self.is_valid(): raise forms.ValidationError("PollForm was not validated first before trying to call 'save'.") choice = self.cleaned_data['choice'] choice.record_vote() return choice class PollFormTestCase(TestCase): fixtures = ['polls_forms_testdata.json'] def setUp(self): super(PollFormTestCase, self).setUp() self.poll_1 = Poll.objects.get(pk=1) self.poll_2 = Poll.objects.get(pk=2) def test_init(self): # Test successful init without data. form = PollForm(instance=self.poll_1) self.assertTrue(isinstance(form.instance, Poll)) self.assertEqual(form.instance.pk, self.poll_1.pk) self.assertEqual([c for c in form.fields['choice'].choices], [(1, u'Yes'), (2, u'No')]) # Test successful init with data. form = PollForm({'choice': 3}, instance=self.poll_2) self.assertTrue(isinstance(form.instance, Poll)) self.assertEqual(form.instance.pk, self.poll_2.pk) self.assertEqual([c for c in form.fields['choice'].choices], [(3, u'Alright.'), (4, u'Meh.'), (5, u'Not so good.')]) # Test a failed init without data. self.assertRaises(KeyError, PollForm) # Test a failed init with data. self.assertRaises(KeyError, PollForm, {}) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
