Testing redirection with py.test

[Vinicius Assef]

I created this gist to help people testing controllers that makes redirection:
https://gist.github.com/viniciusban/7206413

Hope it helps someone.

[Massimo Di Pierro]

Can you please make a web2py slice about this?

[Vinicius Assef]

Good idea.

I'll make it, but it is based on a previous work [1]. I need improve
docs for it.

I would like to help you Vinicius, what could I do?

Richard

[Vinicius Assef]

Thank you, Richard.

Basically, I need to isolate web2py.test from my example app and
prepare better examples.

[Richard Vézina]

Ok, I get web2py.test and web2py 2.7.4 (I will test at the same time that web2py.test works well with it).

Now, https://gist.github.com/viniciusban/7206413 seems just a example... Should I just add it to web2py.test app?

Richard

[Richard Vézina]

Wait, I didn't read carefully web2py.test more complex than I thought, I thought it was just an app.

I will set up a virtualenv.

Richard

[Vinicius Assef]

Yes, that's the way to go. :-)

Hello Vinicius,

I have been able to run tests, one failed though :

Wrote this to get started :

# -*- coding: utf8 -*-

# Create a python virtual environnement
cd
mkdir projects
virtualenv ~/projets/web2py.test
# Access the environnement
source ~/projects/web2py.test/bin/activate
# Now your prompt should look like this :
# (web2py.test)username@yourmachine:~$
# Go in ~/projets/web2py.test
cd ~/projects/web2py.test
# Get last web2py stable
wget http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_src.zip
# Unpack it
unzip web2py_src.zip
# Go in web2py/applications/
cd web2py/applications/
# Get the last web2py.test app
wget https://github.com/viniciusban/web2py.test/archive/master.zip
# Unpack it
unzip master.zip
# Rename
mv web2py.test-master/ people
# You are read for the rest

Attach it...

:)

Richard, in some way, form submission has changed. I don't know
exactly in which version, but now you must set _formkey before form
submission.

I commited some changes.

Now you don't need to import run_controller_in, anymore. Just call
web2py.run() function.
To submit a form, just call web2py.submit()

Thank you so much.

I've made some changes in README, too. Take a look.
