Django 测试在响应状态码 404 上抛出错误

Question

I'm following along with a lecture on django testing and this is one of the tests:

    def test_invalid_flight_page(self):
        max_id = Flight.objects.all().aggregate(Max("id"))["id__max"]

        c = Client()
        response = c.get(f"/flights/{max_id + 1}")
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 404)

When I run manage.py tests it throws an error on this test, essentially saying there is no matching flight:

Creating test database for alias 'default'...
System check identified no issues (0 silenced).

Destroying test database for alias 'default'...

But that is the point, there is no flight with that id so the response status code for that request should equal 404. As far as I can see I have copied the code accurately from the lecture but the lecturer's tests are all running okay. Can anyone see what I may be missing?

When I change the expected response.status_code to 200 self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200) it gives me the same error so this indicates to me that the main problem lies with the response line? Please let me know if there is anything more you need to see.

Answer 1

Your view class is not handling when the query resolves to nothing. In django it's done as follows:

try:
    result = SomeModel.objects.get(pk=some_id)
except SomeModel.DoesNotExist:
    # Return 404 here

Answer 2

I've met the same problem. Indeed, it came from the response line or client.get() method itself. In my case, I add "/" at the end of the quotation mark as:

response = c.get(f"/flights/{max_id + 1}/")

And then check assert condition. Now it functions as I want.

Also found that: If you substitute a word instead of a number as an invalid page, it works just fine. For example:

THIS ONE OK (404 were detected):

response = c.get(f"/flights/whatever")

THIS ONE DOESN'T WORK (404 were not detected and errors were alerted):

response = c.get(f"flights/15")
