I am trying to write test cases for simple user login and registration system in django. First, I was thinking of writing test cases for the urls. The only test case I have written so far is
from django.test import SimpleTestCase
from django.urls import reverse, resolve, path
from main.views import homepage, register, login_request, logout_request
import json
# Create your tests here.
class TestUrls(SimpleTestCase):
def test_list_is_resolved(self):
url = reverse('homepage')
self.assertEquals(resolve(url).func,homepage)
The default urls.py is
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
path('tinymce/',include('tinymce.urls')),
path("",include('main.urls')),
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
]`
The main application urls.py is
from django.urls import path
from . import views
app_name='main' # here for namespacing the urls
urlpatterns = [
path("", views.login_request, name="login"),
path("homepage/",views.homepage, name="homepage"),
path("register/", views.register,name="register"),
path("logout", views.logout_request, name="logout"),
]`
Now every time I am running the tests, I am getting the following error.
(myproject) C:\Users\rohan\mysite>py manage.py test
System check identified no issues (0 silenced).
