Testing Django Inline ModelForms: How to arrange POST data?
- by unclaimedbaggage
Hi folks,
I have a Django 'add business' view which adds a new business with an inline 'business_contact' form.
The form works fine, but I'm wondering how to write up the unit test - specifically, the 'postdata' to send to self.client.post(settings.BUSINESS_ADD_URL, postdata)
I've inspected the fields in my browser and tried adding post data with corresponding names, but I still get a 'ManagementForm data is missing or has been tampered with' error when run.
Anyone know of any resources for figuring out how to post inline data?
Relevant models, views & forms below if it helps. Lotsa thanks.
