Ch. 1 Getting Django Set Up Using a Functional Test

Obey the testing goat! Do nothing until you have a test

Before even installing anything, we'll write a test.

Writing our first test



In [1]:

    
# Make a directory called examples
#!mkdir ../examples
%cd ../examples
!ls









    



/home/thunder/Documents/work/codeguild2015/code_guild/wk9/examples
functional_tests.py  superlists

Write functional test



In [2]:

    
#%%writefile functional_tests.py

from selenium import webdriver

browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://localhost:8000')

assert 'Django' in browser.title

Installing django and selenium



In [9]:

    
# Create a virtual env to load with selenium and django
#!conda create -yn django_class django python=3 # y flag automatically selects yes to install
!source activate django_class # activate virtual environment
!pip install --upgrade selenium # install selenium.









    



/bin/sh: 1: source: not found
Requirement already up-to-date: selenium in /home/thunder/.linuxbrew/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Checking that our test correctly fails



In [3]:

    
# Try running our tests. We're expecting an assertion error here.
%run functional_tests.py

Fixing our failure



In [10]:

    
!ls









    



functional_tests.py



In [11]:

    
# Use django to create a project called 'superlists'
django-admin.py startproject superlists









    



  File "<ipython-input-11-d058b3ea5042>", line 2
    django-admin.py startproject superlists
                               ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax



In [ ]:

    
!tree ../examples/

Let's fire up our new project on a django server



In [ ]:

    
!cd superlists/ && python3 manage.py runserver

Do our tests pass now?



In [ ]:

    
%run functional_tests.py

Now that our test passed, let's turn this into a git repo.



In [ ]:

    
# First, move our tests into the main project dir.
#!mv functional_tests.py superlists/
# 
# Change directories and initialize our superlist into a new git repo
#%cd superlists/
#!git init .



In [ ]:

    
%ls



In [ ]:

    
# Don't add the database to git.
#! echo "db.sqlite3" >> .gitignore # >> means concatenate to end of file.

# Don't add .pyc files
#!echo "*.pyc" >> .gitignore



In [ ]:

    
# Add everything else.
#!git add .
#!git status
#!git commit -m "Initial commit"
