I am testing a form using WebTest. However, somes fields are created dynamically using JS, and thus these fields are not in the Form. I have an error when I try to set one of these fields:
>>> resp.form['new_field'] = 'value' or >>> resp.form.set('new_field', 'value') or >>> resp.form.set('new_field', 'value', index=0) or >>> resp.form['new_field'].force_value('value') *** AssertionError: No field by the name 'new_field' found
Is there a way to create a field ?
You need to add the new field to both fields and field_order:
from webtest.forms import Text
def add_dynamic_field(form, name, value):
"""Add an extra text field to a form. More work required to support files"""
field = Text(form, 'input', None, None, value)
form.fields[name] = [field]
form.field_order.append((name, field))
add_dynamic_field(resp.form, 'newfield', 'some value')
