Add Token to headers request in TEST mode DRF

how is possible to add 'Authorization': 'Token' to TEST request in Django/DRF?

If i use simple requests.get(url, headers={'Authorization': 'Token'} all work perfect but how to do such request in TestCase?

Solution

  • Ref: http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/testing/#credentialskwargs

    from rest_framework.authtoken.models import Token
from rest_framework.test import APIClient

# Include an appropriate `Authorization:` header on all requests.
token = Token.objects.get(user__username='lauren')
client = APIClient()
client.credentials(HTTP_AUTHORIZATION='Token ' + token.key)
