Question

In the Django testing documentation they promise that you can “Test that the correct view is executed for a given URL.”

However I didn’t find any possibility how to test which view was executed. I would expect that in the Response class but there’s nothing about the executed view.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can extract the view function name thusly

from django.test.client import Client
c = Client()
response = c.get('/')
from django.core.urlresolvers import resolve
resolve(response.request["PATH_INFO"])[0].func_name
