Will a minimal view do anything?
accounts/views.py.
from
django.contrib.auth
import
authenticate
def
persona_login
():
pass
Yep:
TypeError: persona_login() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given
And so:
accounts/views.py (ch16l008).
def
persona_login
(
request
):
pass
Then:
ValueError: The view accounts.views.persona_login didn't return an HttpResponse
object. It returned None instead.
accounts/views.py (ch16l009).
from
django.contrib.auth
import
authenticate
from
django.http
import
HttpResponse
def
persona_login
(
request
):
return
HttpResponse
()
And we’re back to:
AssertionError: Expected 'authenticate' to be called once. Called 0 times.
We try:
accounts/views.py.
def
persona_login
(
request
):
authenticate
()
return
HttpResponse
()
And sure enough, we get:
AssertionError: Expected call: authenticate(assertion='assert this')
Actual call: authenticate()
And then we can fix that too:
accounts/views.py.
def
persona_login
(
request
):
authenticate
(
assertion
=
request
.
POST
[
'assertion'
])
return
HttpResponse
()
OK so far. One Python function mocked and tested.
