使用凭据和djoser测试Django API登录

Question

I'm currently trying to test my API's endpoint using Django. So far I've used the APITestCase, but I'm having issues when it comes to login and using my token.

I have a Clark user with a password ('1'), I log him in, retrieve his token and add it to the header before sending my request. But I'm still getting a "Bad Credential Error".

    connection_data = {'email':self.clark_user.email, 'password': '1'}
    self.client.login(email=self.clark_user.email, password='1')     

    token = self.client.post(settings.SERVER_HOST+'/api/v1/auth/login', connection_data)
    self.client.credentials(HTTP_AUTHORIZATION='Token ' + token.data['auth_token'])

    response = self.client.patch(self.url_people, serializer.data, format='json')
    self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_200_OK)
    self.client.logout()

My stack is the following:

• Django rest framework ( http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/testing/ )
• Djoser ( https://github.com/sunscrapers/djoser )

And

• from rest_framework.test import APITestCase
• from core.test_utils import BaseTest For my tests.

Are the lib I use for my tests.

Django REST framework has APIClient class which serves this purpose. I think rather than getting Token over http, it can pulled out from DB directly. The code looks like

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=self.clark_user.username)
client = APIClient()
client.credentials(HTTP_AUTHORIZATION='Token ' + token.key)

response = client.patch(self.url_people, serializer.data, format='json')
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_200_OK)
client.logout()
