Horizon TestCase Classes

Horizon provides a base test case class which provides several useful pre-prepared attributes for testing Horizon components.

class horizon.test.helpers.TestCase(methodName='runTest')

Base test case class for Horizon with numerous additional features.

• A RequestFactory class which supports Django’s contrib.messages framework via self.factory.

• A ready-to-go request object via self.request.

assertMessageCount(response=None, **kwargs)

Asserts that the expected number of messages have been attached.

The expected number of messages can be specified per message type. Usage would look like self.assertMessageCount(success=1).

assertNoMessages(response=None)

Asserts no messages have been attached by the messages framework.

The expected messages framework is django.contrib.messages.

setUp()

Hook method for setting up the test fixture before exercising it.

tearDown()

Hook method for deconstructing the test fixture after testing it.

The OpenStack Dashboard also provides test case classes for greater ease-of-use when testing APIs and OpenStack-specific auth scenarios.

class openstack_dashboard.test.helpers.TestCase(methodName='runTest')

Specialized base test case class for Horizon.

It gives access to numerous additional features:

• A full suite of test data through various attached objects and managers (e.g. self.servers, self.user, etc.). See the docs for TestData for more information.

• A set of request context data via self.context.

• A RequestFactory class which supports Django’s contrib.messages framework via self.factory.

• A ready-to-go request object via self.request.

• The ability to override specific time data controls for easier testing.

• Several handy additional assertion methods.

assertFormErrors(response, count=0, message=None, context_name='form')

Check for form errors.

Asserts that the response does contain a form in its context, and that form has errors, if count were given, it must match the exact numbers of errors

assertNoFormErrors(response, context_name='form')

Checks for no form errors.

Asserts that the response either does not contain a form in its context, or that if it does, that form has no errors.

assertNoWorkflowErrors(response, context_name='workflow')

Checks for no workflow errors.

Asserts that the response either does not contain a workflow in its context, or that if it does, that workflow has no errors.

assertRedirectsNoFollow(response, expected_url)

Check for redirect.

Asserts that the given response issued a 302 redirect without processing the view which is redirected to.

assertStatusCode(response, expected_code)

Validates an expected status code.

Matches camel case of other assert functions

assertWorkflowErrors(response, count=0, message=None, context_name='workflow')

Check for workflow errors.

Asserts that the response does contain a workflow in its context, and that workflow has errors, if count were given, it must match the exact numbers of errors
