I have a project that I started, then decided I should apply a TDD approach.

Well the user registration and login portion already works but I am attempting to add some tests to it.

The user can register, is redirected back to the main page with a Login button.

Here is the test code:

def test_visitor_can_register_and_login_logout(self):

self.browser.get(self.server_url)

self.browser.find_element_by_id('id_register').click()

self.browser.find_element_by_id('id_username').send_keys(TEST_USER)

self.browser.find_element_by_id('id_email').send_keys(TEST_EMAIL)

self.browser.find_element_by_id('id_password1').send_keys(TEST_PASSWORD)

self.browser.find_element_by_id('id_password2').send_keys(TEST_PASSWORD)

self.browser.find_element_by_id('submit_registration').click()

time.sleep(10)

## Existing user is invited to login

self.browser.find_element_by_id('id_login').click()

self.browser.find_element_by_id('id_login').send_keys(TEST_USER)

self.browser.find_element_by_id('id_password').send_keys(TEST_PASSWORD)

self.browser.find_element_by_id('log_me_in').click()

## test user is logged in and can logout

self.browser.find_element_by_id('id_logout').click()

self.browser.find_element_by_tag_name('button').click()

##redirected back to main page

self.browser.find_element_by_id('id_login')

I see the main page load, the registration page loads and the inputs are filled in.

When the submit_registion button is clicked I get a 500. You can see I put a sleep in there just so I could see it and verify that the process isn't running too fast for the server to respond.

I originally had the registration and login in separate tests but I understand that this might require TransactionTestCase ? I am using

from django.test import LiveServerTestCase in this class.

I have one other test before that runs fine.

Any ideas? Tips on troubleshooting this functional test?

I should add that the actual error is:

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: Unable to locate element: {"method":"id","selector":"id_login"}
