I’m learning django rest framework. I wrote a simple test like this:
from rest_framework import status from rest_framework.test import APITestCase class ClinicTestCase(APITestCase): def getList(self): factory = APIRequestFactory() request = factory.get('/Clinic/') self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.OK)
my api returns empty json array for that request. What i don’t know is, how do i run this test?
when i use this command:
python manage.py test
i get
Ran 0 tests in 0.000s
as output. It’s not written in documentation to how to run the tests.

I believe your test methods need to start with test
. Change def getList
to def testGetList
or def test_get_list
.
As with other python tests (see https://docs.python.org/2/library/unittest.html#basic-example), if methods do not start with test
they will not be run as tests.
