I have a unittest which access an internal api and which sets value in session.

eg. 

def api_work(request):
    request.session['stuff'] = True

Now for me to test it:

def test_api(self):
    self.client.get(/api_work/)
    # self.client.session is empty dictionary

My question is if it's possible to use library like MagicMock to make self.client.session shadow the request.session?

  • @Micheled'Amico yeah I have been through those 2 already, my problem is the session data during the request is different to accessing `self.client.session` – James Lin Mar 03 '15 at 00:18
