如何使用Flask测试模板上下文变量

Django的测试客户端返回一个测试Response对象,该对象包含用于呈现模板的模板上下文变量。 https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/#django.test.client.Response.context

如何在Flask中进行测试时访问模板上下文变量?

示例视图:

@pgt.route('/myview')
def myview():
    context = {
        'var1': 'value 1',
        'var2': 'value 2',
        'var3': 'value 3',
    }
    return render_template('mytemplate.html', **context)

示例测试:

class MyViewTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.app = create_app()
        self.client = self.app.test_client()

    def test_get_success(self):
        response = self.client.get('/pgt/myview')

        # I don't want to do this
        self.assertIn('value 1', response.data)

        # I want to do something like this
        self.assertEqual(response.template_context['var1'], 'value 1')

感谢@andrewwatts我使用的Flask-Testing

版本
from flask.ext.testing import TestCase


class MyViewTestCase(TestCase):
    def create_app(self):
        # This method is required by flask.ext.testing.TestCase. It is called
        # before setUp().
        return create_app()

    def test_get_success(self):
        response = self.client.get('/pgt/myview')
        self.assertEqual(self.get_context_variable('var1'), 'value 1')

根据这些有限的信息,我建议将生成上下文的代码分解为一个单独的单元并直接测试。映射上面的例子:

def get_context():
    context = {
        'var1': 'value 1',
        'var2': 'value 2',
        'var3': 'value 3',
    }
    return context

@pgt.route('/myview')
def myview():
    return render_template('mytemplate.html', **get_context())
