Hello! This is Django 4.1.2 and I am testing my authentication with the django.test.Client and two tests cases fail because once I run my test_login_success test case once, the user remains authenticated forever, even when I am instantiating a new client in the class setUp and even deleting the user in the tearDown.
My code:
from django.test import Client, TestCase
from app.users.models import User
class TestLogin(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
super().setUp()
self.email = 'test@test.com'
self.password = 'SomeRandomPass96'
User.objects.create_user(email=self.email, password=self.password)
self.client = Client()
def tearDown(self):
User.objects.filter(email=self.email).delete()
super().tearDown()
def test_not_authenticated(self): # success the first time, fails (by assertionError) after test_login_success is executed for the first time.
user = User.objects.get(email=self.email)
assert not user.is_authenticated
def test_login_success(self): # always success
self.client.post(
'/users/login/',
{'email': self.email, 'password': self.password}
)
user = User.objects.get(email=self.email)
assert user.is_authenticated
def test_login_wrong_credentials(self): # success the first time, fails (by assertionError) after test_login_success is executed for the first time.
self.client.post(
'/users/login/',
{'email': self.email, 'password': 'wrongPassword123'}
)
user = User.objects.get(email=self.email)
assert not user.is_authenticated
I’ve put a breakpoint() in the setUp and realized that the user is authenticated as soon as it is created. It’s weird since I am using a custom User model but the Auth Backend is the Django’s default. By the way I am also using the default database configuration (with sqlite) and I am not seeing any “test_…” database when I run the tests as the documentation describes.
My custom User in case it results useful:
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser, BaseUserManager
from django.db import models
from app.utils.models import AuditedModel
class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_user(self, email: str, password: str = None):
u = User(email=email)
u.set_password(password)
u.save()
def create_superuser(self, email: str, password: str = None):
self.create_user(email, password)
class User(AbstractUser, AuditedModel):
email = models.EmailField(
unique=True,
error_messages={'unique': 'El email se encuentra en uso.'}
)
username = None
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
REQUIRED_FIELDS = []
objects = UserManager()
def __str__(self) -> str:
return self.email
AuditedModel is just an abstract class to audit creation and updates:
class AuditedModel(models.Model):
"""
Model that adds utility fields such as time created and last time
modified.
"""
created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
modified = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
class Meta:
abstract = True
get_latest_by = 'created'
ordering = ['-created', '-modified']
Any clue? Thanks in advance!
