I’m trying to add a test that will pass when a logged in user visits a detail view of their profile page.
If I runserver and manually visit the page, I get a 200 response. However, the test fails because it returns a 302 response.
Questions
- I’m not sure why it’s redirecting in the test but not if I visit the URL in the browser. Any ideas?
- My hypothesis was that I was doing something wrong with logging in and therefore it was redirecting to a login page. This is why I put
print(self.client)in the test to see what’d come out (I think it printing out the object you see from the test output confirms I am successfully logging in—is that true?) - I’m not sure how to find out more information (e.g. how would I find out where the 302 is redirecting to during the test?)
As always, any help is appreciated, and code/error below:
