Coverage test for create view class and update view class

Question

I'm writing coverage test cases for my app views. I have used Createview and Updateview classes with modelform and also used get_success_url() for response redirect.

When I passed data for the form using self.client.post('/product/add/', data), the response was TemplateResponse and status_code was 200, but get_success_url() statements were not covered by the test case. So how can I fill and submit the form from TemplateResponse?

Answer 1

If the client is not redirecting to the success url, the data is probably invalid. You can access the form through the response's context, and check the errors:

print response.context['form'].errors
