Helpers for creating functional tests in Django, with a unified API for WebTest and Selenium tests.
Project description
Helpers for creating high-level functional tests in Django, with a unified API for WebTest and Selenium tests.
Documentation
The full documentation is at https://django-functest.readthedocs.org.
Installation
pip install django-functest
See also the dependencies documentation for important compatibility information.
Features
A simplified API for writing functional tests in Django (tests that check the behaviour of entire views, or sets of views, e.g. a checkout process).
A unified API that abstracts over both WebTest and Selenium - write two tests at once!
Many of the gotchas and difficulties of using WebTest and Selenium ironed out for you.
Well tested - as well as its own test suite, which is run against Firefox, Chrome, and PhantomJS, it is also used by Wolf & Badger for tests covering many business critical functionalities.
Typical usage
In your tests.py:
from django.test import LiveServerTestCase, TestCase
from django_functest import FuncWebTestMixin, FuncSeleniumMixin, FuncBaseMixin
class ContactTestBase(FuncBaseMixin):
def test_contact_form(self):
self.get_url('contact_form')
self.fill({'#id_name': 'Joe',
'#id_message': 'Hello'})
self.submit('input[type=submit]')
self.assertTextPresent("Thanks for your message")
class ContactWebTest(FuncWebTestMixin, TestCase):
pass
class ContactSeleniumTest(FuncSeleniumMixin, LiveServerTestCase):
pass
In this way, you can write a single test with a high-level API, and run it in two way - using a fast, WSGI-based method which emulates typical HTTP usage of a browser, and using a full browser that actually executes Javascript (if present) etc.
Under the hood, the WSGI-based method uses and builds upon WebTest and django-webtest.
django-functest provides its functionality as mixins, so that you can have your own base class for tests.
Running Tests
To run the tests:
source <YOURVIRTUALENV>/bin/activate (myenv) $ ./setup.py develop (myenv) $ ./runtests.py
Or, to run on all environments:
pip install tox tox
Firefox tests are currently failing due to incompatibilities with recent Firefox versions (>= 47) and all published versions of Selenium (< 3.0).
This can be worked around by downloading an old version of Firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/ and using runtests.py –firefox-binary
