unit test: AssertionError: 302 != 200

[Kim]

Hi everyone, 

I'm new to Django and am running a test. 

For my admintest in tests.py, I have the following:

--------------

class AdminTest(LiveServerTestCase):

    def test_login(self):

        c = Client()

        response = c.get('/admin/')

        self.assertEquals(response.status_code,200)

        self.assertTrue('Log in' in response.content)

        c.login(username = 'username',password='password')

        response = c.get('/admin/')

        self.assertEquals(response.status_code,200)

        self.assertTrue('Log out' in response.content)

-------------

And I get this error. 

-------------

$ python manage.py test

Creating test database for alias 'default'...

.F

======================================================================

FAIL: test_login (blogengine.tests.AdminTest)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/Users/Desktop/Python/1.7/src/blogengine/tests.py", line 35, in test_login

    self.assertEquals(response.status_code,200)

AssertionError: 302 != 200

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ran 2 tests in 0.510s

FAILED (failures=1)

Destroying test database for alias 'default'...

-------------

Since I checked the admin is actually working(status 200) in my localhost, I thought I should give 200 status instead of 302. 

Please give me some advice to fix this.

Many thanks,

Kim

Hi,

possibly just your expectation about the response status code is too
much focused on 200.

See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_302

Hi Kim,

I was going through Django 1.7 and noticed that you have to force the redirect on this line

response = c.get('/admin/' follow=True)
