How do I validate django UpdateView correctly?
I have the following unit test
def test_category_update_view(self):
"""
Make sure that a category can be updated
:return:
"""
self.log_user_1_in()
self.assertEqual('Bacon', self.category.name)
res = self.client.put(
reverse(
'calendars:categories:edit_category',
kwargs={'calendar_pk': self.calendar.id, 'pk': self.category.id}
),
urlencode({'name': 'bacon is yummy'})
)
self.assertEqual('bacon is yummy', self.category.name)
self.assertEqual(302, res.status_code)
self.assertEqual(
reverse('calendars:categories:category_list', kwargs={'calendar_pk': self.calendar.id}),
res.url
)
As you can see the form is invalid, so my question is why is it invalid? Should the test client use the data I gave him? My POST request done in the same way works fine and passes the correct data.
I haven't been writing lately, so forgive me if this is a little vague. If you need more information to help me please let me know.
