模拟HTTP POST请求

我有一个只有POST方法实现的python FLASK视图。我不需要GET,因为外部模板会将数据POST到此视图。 现在我想为这个视图编写单元测试,在那里我想模拟初始POST请求并断言视图实现正常工作。

将访问我的视图实现的外部模板示例:

<HTML>
    <HEAD>
     <TITLE> New Document </TITLE>
     <META NAME="Author" CONTENT="Richard Ward">
     <META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="">
     <META NAME="Description" CONTENT="Test Page">
    </HEAD>

    <BODY>
        <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="www.myView.com/testview">
         <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="employeeId" value="304253498022">
         <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="employeeName" value="testName">
         <INPUT TYPE="submit" name="submit" value="Show Information">
        </FORM>
    </BODY>
</HTML>

我的观点类

class TestView(MethodView):
    app = None
    def post(self):
        """
        Implementation of the post request for this view
        """
        employeeId= request.form.get('employeeId', None)
        employeeName = request.form.get('employeeName', None)

        # some data processing code

        return render_template("summary.html")

    @classmethod
    def registerSelf(cls, app):
        """
        Registers itself as a view with the passed Flask application
        """
        TestView.app = app
        app.flaskApp.add_url_rule('/testview', view_func=TestView.as_view('testview'))

我想直接调用我的视图帖子并在请求正文中传递模拟表单数据

我刚刚坚持了2个小时,事实证明您可以在测试中将字典作为数据有效负载传递,并且您可以通过request.form.get

示例测试代码

from <the module you want to test> import app
    app.testing = True
    self.app = app.test_client()
    self.app.post(<endpoint name, for example /index>, data={
        'employeeId': '1',
        'employeeName': 'Ruth'})
