　　Python Lover(3)Django Doc - POST FORM and Testing

1. Form
How the POST Form Working
<h1>{{ question.question_text }}</h1>

{% if error_message %}<p><strong>{{ error_message }}</strong></p>{% endif %}

<form action="{% url 'polls:vote' question.id %}" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{% for choice in question.choice_set.all %}
    <input type="radio" name="choice" id="choice{{ forloop.counter }}" value="{{ choice.id }}" />
    <label for="choice{{ forloop.counter }}">{{ choice.choice_text }}</label><br />
{% endfor %}
<input type="submit" value="Vote" />
</form>

We have the csrf_token to handle the security issue.

The Result Page
<h1>{{ question.question_text }}</h1>

<ul>
{% for choice in question.choice_set.all %}
    <li>{{ choice.choice_text }} -- {{ choice.votes }} vote{{ choice.votes|pluralize }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

<a href="{% url 'polls:detail' question.id %}">Vote again?</a>

The Action-View 
from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse

from polls.models import Question, Choice

def results(request, question_id):
    question = get_object_or_404(Question, pk=question_id)
    return render(request, 'polls/results.html', {'question': question})

def vote(request, question_id):
    p = get_object_or_404(Question, pk=question_id)
    try:
        selected_choice = p.choice_set.get(pk=request.POST['choice'])
    except (KeyError, Choice.DoesNotExist):
        return render(request, 'polls/detail.html', {
            'question': p,
            'error_message': "You did not select a choice.",
        })
    else:
        selected_choice.votes +=1
        selected_choice.save()
        return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('polls:results', args=(p.id,)))

Use Generic Views: Less Code
I do not like it, I want more control of the codes.

2. Automated Testing
2.1 Try to Creating Test Class

Find the file easypoll/polls/tests.py

import datetime

from django.test import TestCase
from django.utils import timezone

from polls.models import Question


# Create your tests here.
class QuestionMethodTests(TestCase):

    def test_was_published_recently_with_future_question(self):
        """
        was_published_recently() should return False for questions whose
        pub_date is in the future
        """
        time = timezone.now() + datetime.timedelta(days=30)
        future_question = Question(pub_date=time)
        self.assertEqual(future_question.was_published_recently(), False)

    def test_was_published_recently_with_old_question(self):
        """
        was_published_recently() should return False for questions whose
        pub_date is older than 1 day
        """
        time = timezone.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=30)
        old_question = Question(pub_date=time)
        self.assertEqual(old_question.was_published_recently(), False)

    def test_was_published_recently_with_recent_question(self):
        """
        was_published_recently() should return True for questions whose
        pub_date is within the last day
        """
        time = timezone.now() - datetime.timedelta(hours=1)
        recent_question = Question(pub_date=time)
        self.assertEqual(recent_question.was_published_recently(), True)

It is easy to run the Tests
>python manage.py test polls
Creating test database for alias 'default'... . ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 1 test in 0.001s

2.2 Test a View
The Django Test Client
We can use it even from the Console, that is amazing.
>python manage.py shell

Prepare the Context, then we can parse the response or something like that from my understanding.
>>> from django.test.utils import setup_test_environment >>> setup_test_environment()

Set up the Client
>>> from django.test import Client >>> client = Client()

Using the client to talk to Our Server
>>> response = client.get('/') >>> response.status_code 404

Reverse the URL from Server Conf
>>> from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse >>> response = client.get(reverse('polls:index')) >>> response.status_code 200
>>> response.content b'\n    <ul>\n    \n        <li><a href="/polls/2/">National</a></li>\n    \n        <li><a href="/polls/1/">what&#39;s up?</a></li>\n    \n    </ul>\n'

Directly hit the URL
>>> response = client.get('/polls/') >>> response.content b'\n    <ul>\n    \n        <li><a href="/polls/2/">National</a></li>\n    \n        <li><a href="/polls/1/">what&#39;s up?</a></li>\n    \n    </ul>\n'

Directly check the context, that is really amazing and you do not need to have your app running.
>>> response.context['latest_question_list'] [<Question: National 2014-09-15 19:23:15+00:00>, <Question: what's up? 2014-09-15 17:25:50+00:00>]

Not from the Shell, Write in tests.py
from django.test import TestCase
from django.utils import timezone
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse

from polls.models import Question

#public static method?

Tips
gte, lte seems to me, it is less, greater.

You do not need to have your app running when you doing the tests. Run the test like this
>python manage.py test polls
