Programatic form submission in shell / py.test

[Octavian G]

Hello,

     I'm testing my application code using py.test (not viniciusban's system). I have a something.py controller, with an add function.

In forms_something (a module):

def add_form(o):

    if some conditions:

        o['add_form'] = add_form

In something.py:

from forms_something import add_form

and then I use it in add(), like:

o = {}

add_form(o)

Now, if I go to the shell, with "-S appname/something -M", I can generate the appname/something/add html using "response.render('something/add.html', add())". This is enough to see the form was generated based on the specified conditions. What I want to do next is submit the form and check that it works fine (validates, generates errors), and that various DB changes do occur.

At this moment, I tried request.env.update(request_method='POST'), but even if I do that, the response.render only shows the form in the initial stage. I also did something like request.post_vars.update(form_field='value'), but with no effect. My intuition tells me it's just a matter of POSTing instead of GETting, but I don't know what to do next.

You may also consider this approach : https://github.com/niphlod/welcome_augmented

Which is BDD centric and use Splinter (Python wrap of Selenium HQ) to perform test...

Sorry I don't have clue for your issue...
