Make the WebAPI feature tests more robust
Review Request #9130 — Created Aug. 9, 2017 and submitted — Latest diff uploaded
Some time in the past the WebAPI feature tests started logging errors
due to missing the_local_site_name
key on the request. This was due
do the request not going through all the middleware; instead, we were
putting it through a selection of middleware -- just enough for the
tests to pass.We were doing this because the test resource is not available in the URL
conf we give to Django (as it is temporary and for testing). Now, we
generate a URL conf for each test as we are running it and pass that to
Django instead. That way, all the requests can go through the test
client, which will put them through middleware we use.In addition I've rewritten the language in the specified test to outline
what exactly the feature and resource are doing: they are for testing
and hence should be calledTestingFeature
,TestingResource
, etc.
Ran unit tests.
