Unit testing - self.assertEqual(login, True)

[Pepsodent Cola]

I want to run a unit test for a user logging in but I get error.  What am I doing wrong?


from django.test import TestCase
from userprofile.models import UserProfile
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class UserProfileTest(TestCase):
    # User factory method
    def create_user(self, username='joe', password='joe'):
        return User.objects.create(username=username, password=password)

    # Create User
    def test_creation_USER(self):
        u = self.create_user()
        self.assertTrue(isinstance(u, User))
        login = self.client.login(username='joe', password='joe')
        self.assertEqual(login, True)

======================================================================
FAIL: test_creation_USER (userprofile.tests.UserProfileTest)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/Django/project/userprofile/tests.py", line 44, in test_creation_USER
    self.assertEqual(login, True)
AssertionError: False != True

Thanks!  I see what I did wrong now.


class UserProfileTest(TestCase):
    # Create User
    def setUp(self):
        self.user = User.objects.create_user(username='captain', password='america')

    # Logged in
    def test_VIEW_USER__Logged_in(self):
        self.assertTrue(isinstance(self.user, User))
        login = self.client.login(username='captain', password='america')
        self.assertEqual(login, True)
