I followed the Django doc to write tests with assertRaisesMessage() but the problem is the exception itself is raised when executing test (so, the test is not executed). Note that the exception called is an exception I voluntarily raise in a method of my model (not in the view).
class MyTestCase(TestCase):
def test_invertRewardState_view_fails_notmy_reward(self):
self.client.login(email='gislaine@toto.com', password='azerty')
resp = self.client.get(reverse(invertRewardState, args=(1,)))
self.assertRaisesMessage(
expected_exception=Exception,
expected_message=EXC_NOT_YOURS,
callable_obj=resp)
How Should I use AssertRaisesMessage() to let my test be executed without raising the Exception? Thanks.
EDIT :
After trying falsetru 1st solution, the problem is still the same. As soon as my test enters in the resp = ...
part, view is called, then related model method is called and raises the exception.

You use assertRaisesMessage
as a context manager around the code you expect to fail:
class MyTestCase(TestCase):
def test_invertRewardState_view_fails_notmy_reward(self):
self.client.login(email='gislaine@toto.com', password='azerty')
url = reverse(invertRewardState, args=(1,))
with self.assertRaisesMessage(Exception, EXC_NOT_YOURS):
self.client.get(url)
