使用API​​TestCase和django-rest-framework

Question

I followed this code:

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from rest_framework import status
from rest_framework.test import APITestCase

class AccountTests(APITestCase):
    def test_create_account(self):
        """
        Ensure we can create a new account object.
        """
        url = reverse('account-list')
        data = {'name': 'DabApps'}
        response = self.client.post(url, data, format='json')
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
        self.assertEqual(response.data, data)

Found in the django-rest-framewok docs here:

http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/testing/#example

I created a single Model with a single field name , and I am still getting a "bad request 400 error". The view and reverse name is also set up correctly, and I have manually tested viewing the URL with success. I don't have Authentication enabled

And can't figure out if I am missing a step?

Does anyone have a working example of a django-rest-framework APITestCase create model object test code snippet?

Thanks

This GIT repo has several working examples, which I was able to follow and get APITestCase working:
