I'm building an authentication system for a website, I don't have prior test experience with Django. I have written some basic tests.
the model,
class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
username = models.CharField(max_length=25, unique=True, error_messages={
'unique': 'The username is taken'
})
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=60, blank=True, null=True)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=60, blank=True, null=True)
email = models.EmailField(unique=True, db_index=True, error_messages={
'unique': 'This email id is already registered!'
})
is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
date_joined = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['username',]
objects = UserManager()
def get_full_name(self):
return ' '.join([self.first_name, self.last_name])
def get_short_name(self):
return self.email
def __unicode__(self):
return self.username
and model manager,
class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_user(self, email, password=None, **kwargs):
if not email:
raise ValueError('Enter Email address')
if not kwargs.get('username'):
raise ValueError('Enter Username')
account = self.model(
email=self.normalize_email(email), username=kwargs.get('username')
)
account.set_password(password)
account.save()
return account
def create_superuser(self, email, password, **kwargs):
account = self.create_user(email, password, **kwargs)
account.is_superuser = True
account.save()
return account
and my tests,
class SettingsTest(TestCase):
def test_account_is_configured(self):
self.assertTrue('accounts' in INSTALLED_APPS)
self.assertTrue('accounts.User' == AUTH_USER_MODEL)
class UserTest(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.username = "testuser"
self.email = "testuser@testbase.com"
self.first_name = "Test"
self.last_name = "User"
self.password = "z"
self.test_user = User.objects.create_user(
username=self.username,
email=self.email,
first_name=self.first_name,
last_name=self.last_name
)
def tearDown(self):
del self.username
del self.email
del self.first_name
del self.last_name
del self.password
def test_create_user(self):
self.assertIsInstance(self.test_user, User)
def test_default_user_is_active(self):
self.assertTrue(self.test_user.is_active)
def test_default_user_is_staff(self):
self.assertFalse(self.test_user.is_staff)
def test_default_user_is_superuser(self):
self.assertFalse(self.test_user.is_superuser)
def test_get_full_name(self):
self.assertEqual('Test User', self.test_user.get_full_name())
def test_get_short_name(self):
self.assertEqual(self.email, self.test_user.get_short_name())
def test_unicode(self):
self.assertEqual(self.username, self.test_user.__unicode__())
fortunately all the passes, and my question is, are these tests overdone or underdone or normal? What should be tested in a model? is there any procedure missing? anything wrong with this tests?? how do I effectively write tests??
thank you for any insights.
