I'm trying to test sent signal and it's providing_args. Signal triggered inside contact_question_create
view just after form submission.
My TestCase is something like:
def test_form_should_post_proper_data_via_signal(self):
form_data = {'name': 'Jan Nowak'}
signals.question_posted.send(sender='test', form_data=form_data)
@receiver(signals.question_posted, sender='test')
def question_posted_listener(sender, form_data):
self.name = form_data['name']
eq_(self.name, 'Jan Nowak')
Is this the proper way to test this signal? Any better ideas?
I've resolved the problem by myself. I think that the best solution is following:
def test_form_should_post_proper_data_via_signal(self):
# define the local listener
def question_posted_listener(sender, form_data, **kwargs):
self.name = form_data['name']
# prepare fake data
form_data = {'name': 'Jan Nowak'}
# connect & send the signal
signals.question_posted.connect(question_posted_listener, sender='test')
signals.question_posted.send(sender='test', form_data=form_data)
# check results
eq_(self.name, 'Jan Nowak')
