I'm trying to get into a better testing flow with Django. One of
things I'm trying to figure out how to test are templates. Using the
Django Test Client works fine, for instance, in detecting whether I
have a missing template tag (because it'll explode) or if I don't pass
a particular variable to the context (using the response's context
attribute).
There are a couple of other things I'd like to automate testing of
however.
1) Has a template variable been used? Sometimes I'll have a piece of
template code like this : {% if a %}{{ b }}{% else %}{{ c }}{% end %},
and I'd like to see whether b or c has been rendered.
2) Were there any attribute errors? E.g. if variable x has no
attribute y, I should be able to detect something wrong with
{{ x.y.z }}. This is currently hidden by Django's silent failure when
dealing with template variables.
Currently, I'm doing a bit of testing using this pattern:
assert "something" in response.content, response.content
That's somewhat messy however -- and I'd like to avoid having to scan
through html in my test output just to find a bug if there's a simpler
method. Does anyone have any suggestions?
