Expected URL with primary key when testing SimpleTestCase.assertRedirects()

[Antonio Alaniz]

I'm testing a redirect that would include the primary key. Can anyone tell me how I can test the redirect URL if it involves the primary key? Will the following work?:

self.assertRedirects(response, 'message/(?P<message_id>\d+)/', 200)

This is how I usually do redirect tests:

self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 302)

self.assertRedirects(

        response,

        'http://testserver' + reverse('pizza:deleted')

)

I recommend using named URLs, that way your message_id would be similar to this:

reverse('pizza:delete', args=[pizza.id])

Here is the complete app's tests if you want to take a look

Thanks, K. I think one of my main issues, after looking at your tests, is that I'm not currently using the client to test the redirect. I have this test as a part of my functional_tests.py, but it sounds like I need to possibly build this into my unit tests as I see your test is in tests.py. I'm going move some of this work around between functional and unit tests and then try out your suggestion with the client.
