Testing with LiveServerTestCase and Selenium

Hello,

I'm using Django 1.4 and was really excited to learn about the new testing features. I am totally new to this.

I seem to have hit a bump in the road. If I overcome this I'm hopeful it will be smooth sailing and I will experience some great testing goodness.

I've been mucking around with this all morning and I can't seem to get the selenium Firefox webdriver to navigate to the given URL.

I have read the docs:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/testing/#django.test.LiveServerTestCase 

and read this tutorial

http://www.tdd-django-tutorial.com/tutorial/1/ 

and tried to run the test code that they suggest.

When I run the very simple test:

from django.test import LiveServerTestCase

from selenium import webdriver

class MySeleniumTests(LiveServerTestCase):

    fixtures = ['lookups_security.json']

    def setUp(self):

        self.browser = webdriver.Firefox()

    def tearDown(self):

        self.browser.quit()

    def test_login(self):

        # Gertrude opens her web browser, and goes to the admin page

        self.browser.get(self.live_server_url + '/admin/login/')

        # She sees the familiar 'Django administration' heading

        body = self.browser.find_element_by_tag_name('body')

        self.assertIn('CISSIMP Admin', body.text)

A blank Firefox browser pops up, sits there and then closes.

The test output is:

(sitar_env2) C:\virtual_env\sitar_env2\cissimp>python manage.py test --liveserver=localhost:8082 sitar

Creating test database for alias 'default'...

E

======================================================================

ERROR: test_login (sitar.tests.MySeleniumTests)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\virtual_env\sitar_env2\cissimp\sitar\tests.py", line 54, in test_login

    self.assertIn('CISSIMP Admin', body.text)

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ran 1 test in 22.546s

FAILED (errors=1)

Destroying test database for alias 'default'...

It seems obvious that the browser is not navigating to the URL I want so the code is trying to get a reference to an non-existent body tag.

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

/Paul
