response.status 404 testing problem

[Mike Dewhirst]

I have a test which succeeds in development but fails with Apache in
staging ...

Here is the test ...

    def test_course_view_not_found_status_code(self):
        # no course exists with pk of 99
        response = self.client.get(reverse('course:course_view',
kwargs={'pk': 99}))
        self.assertEquals(response.status_code, 404)

The status code from the staging server with Apache is 301  <-- Huh?

The test class tearDown() deletes all courses between each test.

Here is the view ...

def course_view(request, pk=None):
    course = get_object_or_404(Course, pk=pk)
    # login is needed if there are questions/answers
    if course.login_needed or request.user.is_authenticated:
        return course_login_required(request, course=course)
    else:
        return course_login_not_required(request, course=course)

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Mike

Forgot to mention ...

dev = Django 1.11.15, Python 3.6 and 2.7 on Windows 10
staging = Django 1.11.15, Python 2.7 on Ubuntu 16.04 (no GUI) Apache 2.4

Sorry

Had a thought overnight ... maybe the 301 (permanently redirected) is
because the staging server is using https and the server redirects from
http to https.

I'll start looking there.

If anyone has any advice on best practice for this I'd love to hear it.

Thanks

Mike
