-----------------------------------+--------------------
I've got a few Django projects that are just JSON APIs and return JSON. If
you want to test those in the test client, you have to parse the response
into JSON. Each and every test call. For example:
{{{
def test_ok(self):
assert json.loads(self.client.get(url).content)['modified']
}}}
What would be nice is to have json on the test client, which can be parsed
if the response is application/json. We can mimic the requests interface
here:
http://docs.python-
requests.org/en/latest/api/?highlight=json#requests.Response.json
So it would look like this:
{{{
def test_ok(self):
assert self.client.get(url).json()['modified']
}}}
I wouldn't suggest we do this for every content type, but JSON is
everywhere. Like glitter.
