I am trying to write a test for the get_success_url method in a CreateView, to make sure it redirects to the newly created page. But the response status code is 200 instead of 302 as I expected.
views.py
class BlogCreate(CreateView):
model = Blog
fields = [‘author’, 'title', ’post’]
def get_success_url(self):
return reverse_lazy('blog:blog-detail', kwargs={'slug': self.object.slug})
class BlogList(ListView):
model = Blog
ordering = ["-created"]
class BlogDetail(DetailView):
model = Blog
config/urls.py
from django.conf.urls import include, url
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^blog/', include('blog.url', namespace='blog')),
blog/urls.py
from django.conf.urls import url
from .views import BlogCreate, BlogList, BlogDetail, BlogEdit, BlogDelete
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^(?P<slug>[-\w]+)/$', BlogDetail.as_view(), name='blog-detail'),
url(r'^(?P<slug>[-\w]+)/edit$', BlogEdit.as_view(), name='blog-edit'),
url(r'^(?P<slug>[-\w]+)/delete$', BlogDelete.as_view(), name='blog-delete'),
url(r'^new$', BlogCreate.as_view(), name='blog-create'),
url(r'^$', BlogList.as_view(), name='blog-list'),
]
tests.py
class BlogCreateTest(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.user = User.objects.create_user(username='john', password='123')
def test_create_success_url(self):
post = {‘author’: self.user,
'title': ‘new blog’,
‘article’: ‘text’,
}
url = reverse_lazy('blog:blog-create')
success_url = reverse_lazy('blog:blog-detail', kwargs={'slug':'new-blog'})
response = self.client.post(url, post)
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 302)
self.assertRedirects(response, success_url
)
