Re: testing signal with django allauth

what's the error you are getting in the logs ?

In Django, while writing tests for forms that require CSRF token validation (for instance, in Test-Driven Development or TDD), you can bypass the CSRF validation or simulate the behavior of submitting a valid CSRF token.

Here's how you can handle CSRF tokens in your Django tests:

### 1. **Bypassing CSRF Validation in Tests**
Django's test client automatically ignores CSRF checks when running tests. This means that when you use Django's `Client` in your tests, you don't need to worry about CSRF tokens. You can directly submit forms without providing a CSRF token.

#### Example:
```python
from django.test import TestCase
from django.urls import reverse

class MyFormTest(TestCase):
    def test_form_submission(self):
        url = reverse('my_form_url')
        form_data = {
            'field1': 'value1',
            'field2': 'value2',
        }
        response = self.client.post(url, form_data)
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)
```
In this example, Django automatically bypasses the CSRF check when the form is submitted via the `self.client.post()`.

### 2. **Simulating CSRF Token (If Required for Specific Use Case)**
If, for some reason, you want to simulate the behavior of CSRF protection in tests, you can manually add the CSRF token to your form data. To do this, retrieve the CSRF token from the response context and include it in the form submission.

#### Example:
```python
from django.test import TestCase
from django.urls import reverse

class MyFormTest(TestCase):
    def test_form_submission_with_csrf(self):
        # Retrieve the form page to get the CSRF token
        url = reverse('my_form_url')
        response = self.client.get(url)
        csrf_token = response.cookies['csrftoken'].value

        form_data = {
            'csrfmiddlewaretoken': csrf_token,
            'field1': 'value1',
            'field2': 'value2',
        }
        response = self.client.post(url, form_data)
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)
```

### 3. **Custom CSRF Token Checking (Optional)**
If you are writing custom views or custom middleware that depends on CSRF tokens, you might want to ensure that CSRF tokens are handled in tests. This typically isn't necessary with Django's built-in forms and views, but it could be useful if you have custom security logic.

### Conclusion
For most scenarios in Django TDD, you don't need to pass the CSRF token in tests since Django's test client ignores CSRF by default. However, if you do need to simulate it, you can explicitly add the CSRF token from the response context to your form submission.

Hi,

I think you have to pass csrf token while submitting the form in django. Try passing csrf token.

Hi all, 

Thanks for reading. I am at a stage where I am needing to do my testing, and its is hard!

I managed to add a function after sign up and log in, using the signals of allauth. As I am trying to add my tests as I work, I have added a little change to the Session, to mark if my functions have don what they should, and I also would like to test if actually is doing the thing.

Now, when I try with the unit tests to send a dictionary with the login I am not being able to do a form that is valid for allauth. Can somebody help we figuring out how to test this? Or some wisdom about testing? (My function is working, but I am learning about testing, and test driven development, and I came to it because I have been fearing to do changes and then create unknown bugs, so it is time!)

Gabriel
