I’m attempting to create a TemplateView where each subclass renders an AuthenticationForm; subclassing it and naming it UserLoginForm . This gives the User the opportunity to login with their credentials on any page they visit and be redirected to that same page after being successfully authenticated.
When validating UserLoginForm , it fails to authenticate when it reaches form.clean() and raises self.get_invalid_login_error() . The TestCase used to simulate this scenario creates a User, then a POST request with the same credentials is sent. What’s causing the UserLoginForm to invalidate the data passed to it and not finding the User? I’m using the default auth backend: <django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend object at 0x0000019DBF5B3DC8>
Upon debugging, the database has stored the Mock User in the Test Case:
-> user_login_failed.send(sender=__name__, credentials=_clean_credentials(credentials), request=request)
(Pdb) from django.contrib.auth.models import User
(Pdb) User.objects.all()
<QuerySet [<User: User>]>
class TestTopicListMainPage__003(TestCase):
'''Verify that an anonymous user is logged into their User account'''
@classmethod
def setUpTestData(cls):
user = User.objects.create_user("User", 'secretcode')
cls.data = {
'username': "User",
'password': "secretcode"
}
