you don’t know what the status of the later assertions is. As we’ll see in the next chapter,
if we ever break this view accidentally, we want to knowwhether it’s the saving of objects
that’s broken, or the type of response.
You may not always write perfect unit tests with single assertions on your first go, but
now feels like a good time to separate out our concerns:
lists/tests.py.
def
test_home_page_can_save_a_POST_request
(
self
):
request
=
HttpRequest
()
request

method
=
'POST'
request
.

[
'item_text'
]
=
'A new list item'
response
=
home_page
(

self
.

)
And we should now see six tests pass instead of five:
