Django Test: Test view without creating client

Question

I would like to write a test case like:

    # Create fake request with missing header that we are testing for
    request = HttpRequest() 
    request.META = {}
    response = MyApp.views.start(request)
    self.assertEqual(400, response.status_code, "Unexpected response code")

When I run the above code I see the following error message:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'views'

I am a Python newbie and am clearly doing this wrong. Can anyone point how what the error is?

Thanks. -Raj

Answer 1

You haven't shown your imports, or included the full traceback, which makes it harder to work out what's going wrong.

Changing

import myapp

to

import myapp.views

might work.
