Re: How can Selenium see a record that I can't find from a debugger?

I'm still stuck regarding how to delete a user from the database directly.

I am creating Selenium tests for my App.
I can create a new user, but I can't seem to figure out how to have it deleted from the database.

After the tests run successfully the first time, subsequent tests fail because the username already exists.

**Why am I not able to query the newly created record in the debugger despite being able to see the new record on the page?** 

**How do I delete a record from the database in a test?**

This is what I have been doing: 

    from selenium import webdriver 
    from django.utils import unittest 
    from forum.models import Question, Answer, User 
     
    class TestOSQAAuthentication(unittest.TestCase): 
        scheme = 'http' 
        host = 'localhost' 
        port = '4444' 
            
        def setUp(self): 
            self._driver = webdriver.Firefox() 
            self._driver.implicitly_wait(25) 
         
     
        def test_anon_can_create_new_account_manually(self): 
            self._driver.get('http://localhost:8000/account/local/register/') 
            self._driver.find_element_by_id('id_username').send_keys('MrManual') 
            self._driver.find_element_by_id('id_email').send_keys('test@gmail.com') 
            self._driver.find_element_by_id('id_password1').send_keys('test') 
            self._driver.find_element_by_id('id_password2').send_keys('test') 
            self._driver.find_element_by_id('bnewaccount').click()  
            # verify MrManual was created 
            self._driver.get('http://localhost:8000/users/') 
            self._driver.find_element_by_link_text('MrManual') 
            # MrManual seems to be created, but I don't see MrManual in the database during debugging with: 
            # import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace() 
            #ipdb> User.objects.all() 
            #[<User: Bryan>, <User: Kallie>, <User: Stalin>] 
            # here I am trying to delete the user from the database directly.
            User.objects.filter(username="MrManual").delete() 
            """For some reason I can't delete the record from the database from the test. 
            Selenium can find the new user in the browser, but I can't query the database to find it."""
