python - Django user setup for nose tests -

i tried seting user nose tests doesnot work

in global scope defined:

from django.contrib.auth.models import user import nose.tools noz 

inside test class defined:

def setup(self):     self.client = client()     user = user(username="test", password="test")     user.save() 

the user saved, have tested noz.set_trace() when test function calls same user's login, assertion error raised:

nosetests --verbosity 1 creating test database alias 'default'... > <app-path>/tests.py(59)testtestuser() -> response = self.client.login(username=u'test', password=u'test') (pdb) user.objects.all() [<user: test>] 

the testtestuser function defined like:

def testtestuser(self):     """ tests if django user 'test' setup properly."""     noz.set_trace()     # login test user     response = self.client.login(username='test', password='test')         noz.assert_equal(response, true) 

relevant test output :

    noz.assert_equal(response, true)        assertionerror: false != true      ----------------------------------------------------------------------     ran 1 test in 0.011s      failed (failures=1) 

my intention test views have requst.user.is_authenicated() branch.

figured out : http://www.pukkared.com/2011/07/simulating-user-login-in-a-django-view-unit-test/

the proper code is:

def setup(self):     self.client = client()     user = user.objects.create_user(username="test", password="test")  def testtestuser(self):     """ tests if django user 'test' setup properly."""     noz.set_trace()     # login test user     response = self.client.login(username='test', password='test')         noz.assert_equal(response, true)
