authentication - Testing Django 1-5 Reset Password Form - how to generate the token for the test? -

with following test, token not recognised valid. in manual test, it's working i'm missing in way password generated guess.

def test_actual_reset_password(self):     new_password = "mynewpassword012*"     token_generator = passwordresettokengenerator()     user = userfactory.create()     token = token_generator.make_token(user=user)      response = self.assert_page_loading(path="/forgot-password/reset/{0}/".format(token))     print response      # loads page error message mentioning token used              # cannot carry on:     form = response.form     form['new_password1'] = new_password     form['new_password2'] = new_password      response = form.submit() 

in django source code, in passwordresetform, i've found code; can't see difference is:

def save(self, ..., token_generator=default_token_generator, ...):     """     generates one-use link resetting password , sends     user.     """     ...     user in self.users_cache:         ...         c = {             ...             'token': token_generator.make_token(user),             ...         }         ...         send_mail(subject, email, from_email, [user.email]) 

ok, searching info on how , question prompted me figure out myself. i'm not sure if you're still working on this, here's how got work:

from django.core import mail # first initial password reset form.   # not strictly necessary, included completeness response = self.c.get(reverse('password_reset')) self.assertequal(response.status_code, 200) self.assertequal(response.template_name, 'authentication/password_reset_form.html')  # post response our "email address" response = self.c.post(reverse('password_reset'),{'email':'fred@home.com'}) self.assertequal(response.status_code, 302) # @ point system "send" email. can "check" thusly: self.assertequal(len(mail.outbox), 1) self.assertequal(mail.outbox[0].subject, 'password reset on example.com')  # now, here's kicker: token , userid response token = response.context[0]['token'] uid = response.context[0]['uid'] # can use token password change form response = self.c.get(reverse('password_reset_confirm', kwargs={'token':token,'uidb64':uid})) self.assertequal(response.status_code, 200) self.assertequal(response.template_name, 'authentication/password_reset_confirm.html')  # post same url our new password: response = self.c.post(reverse('password_reset_confirm',      kwargs={'token':token,'uidb36':uid}), {'new_password1':'pass','new_password2':'pass'}) self.assertequal(response.status_code, 302) 

and that's it! not hard after all.
