Does anyone know how I can test the image upload with using WebTest. My current code is:
form['avatar'] =('avatar', os.path.join(settings.PROJECT_PATH, 'static', 'img', 'avatar.png'))
res = form.submit()
In the response I get the following error "Upload a valid image. The file you uploaded was either not an image or a corrupted image.".
Any help will be appreciated.
Power was right. Unfortunately(or not) I found his answer after I spend half an hour debugging the webtest. Here is a bit more information.
Trying to pass only the path to the files brings you the following exception:
webtest/app.py", line 1028, in _get_file_info
ValueError: upload_files need to be a list of tuples of (fieldname, filename, filecontent) or (fieldname, filename); you gave: ...
The problem is that is doesn't told you that it automatically will append the field name to the tuple send and making 3 item tuple into 4 item one. The final solutions was:
avatar = ('avatar',
file(os.path.join(settings.PROJECT_PATH, '....', 'avatar.png')).read())
Too bad that there is not decent example but I hope this will help anyone else too )
Nowadays selected answer didn't help me.
But I found the way to provide expected files in the .submit() method args
form.submit(upload_files=[('avatar', '/../file_path.png')])
With Python 3:
form["avatar"] = ("avatar.png", open(os.path.join(settings.PROJECT_PATH, '....', 'avatar.png', "rb").read())
