I am trying to improve the test coverage of our work project and needed to test the avatar upload that is associated with creating users in our project. I didn’t find any place that laid out how to test file uploads. Fortunately the tests for the easy-thumbnails app we use are pretty good and I was able to piece something together using their code as a model.
In case anyone else is looking for something like this, I updated my easy thumbnails example project to include a couple of tests.
from PIL import Image
from django.core.files.base import ContentFile
from django.core.files.uploadedfile import SimpleUploadedFile
from django.test import TestCase, Client
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.utils.six import BytesIO
from .factories import UserFactory
from .models import UserProfile
# "borrowed" from easy_thumbnails/tests/test_processors.py
def create_image(storage, filename, size=(100, 100), image_mode='RGB', image_format='PNG'):
"""
Generate a test image, returning the filename that it was saved as.
If ``storage`` is ``None``, the BytesIO containing the image data
will be passed instead.
"""
data = BytesIO()
Image.new(image_mode, size).save(data, image_format)
data.seek(0)
if not storage:
return data
image_file = ContentFile(data.read())
return storage.save(filename, image_file)
class UserTests(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.user = UserFactory(username='me')
# deleting the user will remove the user, the user_profile, AND the avatar image
def tearDown(self):
self.user.delete()
def test_adding_an_avatar_image(self):
# make sure we start out with no UserProfile (and thus no avatar)
self.assertIsNone(UserProfile.objects.filter(user_id=self.user.id).first())
myClient = Client()
myClient.login(username=self.user.username, password='password')
# set up form data
avatar = create_image(None, 'avatar.png')
avatar_file = SimpleUploadedFile('front.png', avatar.getvalue())
form_data = {'avatar': avatar}
response = myClient.post(reverse('avatar_form'), form_data, follow=True)
self.assertRegex(response.redirect_chain[0][0], r'/users/profile/$')
# And now there is a user profile with an avatar
self.assertIsNotNone(self.user.profile.avatar)
def test_uploading_non_image_file_errors(self):
# make sure we start out with no UserProfile (and thus no avatar)
self.assertIsNone(UserProfile.objects.filter(user_id=self.user.id).first())
myClient = Client()
myClient.login(username=self.user.username, password='password')
# set up form data
text_file = SimpleUploadedFile('front.png', b'this is some text - not an image')
form_data = {'avatar': text_file}
response = myClient.post(reverse('avatar_form'), form_data, follow=True)
self.assertFormError(response, 'avatar_form', 'avatar',
'Upload a valid image. The file you uploaded was either not an image or a corrupted image.')
