# Django-PyVows
This project is an extension of pyVows to test [Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/) projects. It enables usage of core Django testing tools in a way that is in sync with pyVows workflow mindset.
PyVows is a BDD (Behaviour Driven Development) inspired by Vows for node.js
More documentation about pyVows can be found at [the project homepage](http://pyvows.org) or for more updated usage check the project [tests itself](https://github.com/heynemann/pyvows/tree/master/tests).
Django-PyVows is in sync with the latest Django developments and supports Django 1.8.
## Usage
There is no need to modify your project to use Django-PyVows. You only have to define where is your project settings module and start calling your project urls in your tests.
```python
from pyvows import Vows, expect
from django_pyvows.context import DjangoContext
@Vows.batch
class SimpleTestVows(DjangoContext):
def settings_module(self):
return 'yourproject.settings'
def topic(self):
return self.get('/mygreaturl/')
def should_be_a_success(self, topic):
expect(topic.status_code).to_equal(200)
def should_return_the_correct_response(self, topic):
expect(topic).contains("Welcome!")
```
The default `settings_module` is `settings` so you should define it accordly based on your `PYTHONPATH`.
### HTTP Client
We support `django.test.Client`, the methods `DjangoContext.get` and `DjangoContext.post` are actually simple wrappers around it so [the usage](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/testing/tools/#the-test-client) is the same. The test client is also available in the `DjangoContext` instance as `self.client`.
### Assertions
The available assertions in Django-PyVows are the same as in `django.test.SimpleTestCase` they were adapted to the context of BDD and PyVows.
- `contains`: reflects the `django.test.SimpleTestCase.assertContains`. Check usage at: [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/testing/tools/#django.test.SimpleTestCase.assertContains](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/testing/tools/#django.test.SimpleTestCase.assertContains)
- `redirects_to`: reflects the `django.test.SimpleTestCase.assertRedirects`. Check usage at: [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/testing/tools/#django.test.SimpleTestCase.assertRedirects](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/testing/tools/#django.test.SimpleTestCase.assertRedirects)
- `with_form_error`: reflects the `django.test.SimpleTestCase.assertFormError`. Check usage at: [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/testing/tools/#django.test.SimpleTestCase.assertFormError](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/testing/tools/#django.test.SimpleTestCase.assertFormError)
