如何对 django 消息进行单元测试？

Question

在我的 django 应用程序中，我正在尝试编写一个单元测试来执行一个操作，然后检查响应中的消息。

据我所知，没有很好的方法可以做到这一点。

我使用的是CookieStorage存储方式，我想做类似下面的事情：

    response = self.client.post('/do-something/', follow=True)
    self.assertEquals(response.context['messages'][0], "fail.")

问题是，我得到的只是一个

print response.context['messages']
<django.contrib.messages.storage.cookie.CookieStorage object at 0x3c55250>

我怎样才能把它变成有用的东西，还是我做错了？

谢谢， 丹尼尔

Answer 1

我找到了一个非常简单的方法：

response = self.client.post('/foo/')
messages = list(response.context['messages'])
self.assertEqual(len(messages), 1)
self.assertEqual(str(messages[0]), 'my message')

如果您需要检查没有上下文的响应中的消息，您可以使用以下命令：

from django.contrib.messages import get_messages
messages = list(get_messages(response.wsgi_request))
self.assertEqual(len(messages), 1)
self.assertEqual(str(messages[0]), 'my message')

后备存储不支持索引，但它是可迭代的。

来自django documentation：

在模板之外，你可以使用 get_messages()

所以，你可以这样写：

from django.contrib.messages import get_messages

[...]

messages = [m.message for m in get_messages(response.wsgi_request)]
self.assertIn('My message', messages)

这对我有用（显示所有消息）：

print [m.message for m in list(response.context['messages'])]

这里还有一些我在从 Django 的 TestCase 继承的测试类中拥有的实用方法。如果您希望将它们用作函数，请删除 self 参数并将 self.fail() 替换为 raise。

def assert_message_count(self, response, expect_num):
    """
    Asserts that exactly the given number of messages have been sent.
    """

    actual_num = len(response.context['messages'])
    if actual_num != expect_num:
        self.fail('Message count was %d, expected %d' %
            (actual_num, expect_num))

def assert_message_contains(self, response, text, level=None):
    """
    Asserts that there is exactly one message containing the given text.
    """

    messages = response.context['messages']

    matches = [m for m in messages if text in m.message]

    if len(matches) == 1:
        msg = matches[0]
        if level is not None and msg.level != level:
            self.fail('There was one matching message but with different'
                'level: %s != %s' % (msg.level, level))

        return

    elif len(matches) == 0:
        messages_str = ", ".join('"%s"' % m for m in messages)
        self.fail('No message contained text "%s", messages were: %s' %
            (text, messages_str))
    else:
        self.fail('Multiple messages contained text "%s": %s' %
            (text, ", ".join(('"%s"' % m) for m in matches)))

def assert_message_not_contains(self, response, text):
    """ Assert that no message contains the given text. """

    messages = response.context['messages']

    matches = [m for m in messages if text in m.message]

    if len(matches) > 0:
        self.fail('Message(s) contained text "%s": %s' %
            (text, ", ".join(('"%s"' % m) for m in matches)))

更新

我最初的答案是在 django 还是 1.1 左右的时候写的。这个答案不再相关。请参阅@daveoncode 的answer 以获得更好的解决方案。

原答案

我做了一个实验来测试这个。我将其中一个项目中的MESSAGE_STORAGE 设置更改为'django.contrib.messages.storage.cookie.CookieStorage'，并执行了我为检查消息而编写的测试。有效。

与您所做的主要区别在于我检索消息的方式。见下文：

def test_message_sending(self):
    data = dict(...)
    response = self.client.post(reverse('my_view'), data)
    messages = self.user.get_and_delete_messages()

    self.assertTrue(messages)
    self.assertEqual('Hey there!', messages[0])

这个可能值得一试。

相持一的简单版本：

class TestCaseMessagesMixture(object):
    def assertMessageCount(self, response, expect_num):
        """
        Asserts that exactly the given number of messages have been sent.
        """

        actual_num = len(response.context['messages'])
        if actual_num != expect_num:
            self.fail('Message count was %d, expected %d' %
                    (actual_num, expect_num)
                )

    def assertMessageEqual(self, response, text):
        """
        Asserts that the response includes the message text.
        """

        messages = [m.message for m in response.context['messages']]

        if text not in messages:
            self.fail(
                'No message with text "%s", messages were: %s' % 
                    (text, messages)
                )

    def assertMessageNotEqual(self, response, text):
        """
        Asserts that the response does not include the message text.
        """

        messages = [m.message for m in response.context['messages']]

        if text in messages:
            self.fail(
                'Message with text "%s" found, messages were: %s' % 
                    (text, messages)
                )

测试助手用于验证响应消息的数量和内容

def get_response_messages(self, response):
    from django.contrib.messages import get_messages
    return list(get_messages(response.wsgi_request))


def check_response_messages(self, response, message_index=None, message_value=None, exp_count=None):
    messages = self.get_response_messages(response)
    if exp_count is not None:
        self.assertEqual(len(messages), exp_count)

    if message_index is not None:
        message = messages[message_index]
        self.assertIn(message_value, str(message))

可以这样使用

message_value = "You can not switch to another type of account"
self.check_response_messages(response, exp_count=1, message_index=0, message_value=message_value)
