Django test client gets 301 redirection when accessing url
- by Michal Klich
I am writing unittests for django views. I have observed that one of my views returns redirection code 301, which is not expected.
Here is my views.py mentioned earlier.
def index(request):
return render(request, 'index.html',
{'form': QueryForm()})
def query(request):
if request.is_ajax():
form = QueryForm(request.POST)
return HttpResponse('valid')
Below is urls.py.
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', 'core.views.index'),
url(r'^query/$', 'core.views.query')
)
And unittest that will fail.
def so_test(self):
response = self.client.post('/')
self.assertEquals(response.status_code, 200)
response = self.client.post('/query', {})
self.assertEquals(response.status_code, 200)
My question is: why there is status 301 returned?
