Chapter 5: Unexpected error in lists/tests.py

[Богдан Сиващенко]

Hello everybody,

My name is Bohdan and I'm new to Django.

I've got a strange error while modifying lists/test.py. Here is what i get when I run it:

$python3 manage.py test

Creating test database for alias 'default'...

E

======================================================================

ERROR: lists.tests (unittest.loader._FailedTest)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

ImportError: Failed to import test module: lists.tests

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/unittest/loader.py", line 436, in _find_test_path

    module = self._get_module_from_name(name)

  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/unittest/loader.py", line 377, in _get_module_from_name

    __import__(name)

  File "/home/bohdan/Documents/TG_01/superlists/lists/tests.py", line 4, in <module>

    from django.template.loader import render_to_srting

ImportError: cannot import name 'render_to_srting' from 'django.template.loader' (/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/django/template/loader.py)

I can't imagine what am I doing wrong. I would be grateful if somebody could help me.

I do not know your code, but the ImportError at the top of the error output says it cannot find your module lists.tests.  You stated that you were modifying lists.test.py.  This seems to indicate that the file should be tests.py instead of test.py, or you reference to import is should be lists.test.

Did you try this before you modified the lists/test.py module? Did a name get changed somewhere?

Another note (apparently it IS finding the tests.py file): The ImportError has what could be a typo. It is looking for "render_to_srting", instead of what I assume you meant, "render_to_string". This of course causes it to fail the import, because the one you typed does not exist.

Yes, the problem was in "render_to_srting". It was just a typo(as I am using Pluma notebook without linter, which could help). And I made another typo while writing first message here, yes the modified file is lists/tests.py. Thank you very much for your help.
