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’)[source]¶

Base test case class for Horizon with numerous additional features.

• The mox mocking framework via self.mox.
• 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)[source]¶

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)[source]¶

Asserts no messages have been attached by the messages framework.

The expected messages framework is django.contrib.messages.

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’)[source]¶

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.
• The mox mocking framework via self.mox.
• 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’)[source]¶

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’)[source]¶

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.

assertRedirectsNoFollow(response, expected_url)[source]¶

Check for redirect.

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

assertStatusCode(response, expected_code)[source]¶

Validates an expected status code.

Matches camel case of other assert functions

class openstack_dashboard.test.helpers.APITestCase(methodName=’runTest’)[source]¶

Testing APIs.

For use with tests which deal with the underlying clients rather than stubbing out the openstack_dashboard.api.* methods.

class openstack_dashboard.test.helpers.BaseAdminViewTests(methodName=’runTest’)[source]¶

Sets an active user with the “admin” role.

For testing admin-only views and functionality.
