Raise_exception not working with token base authentication
I'm trying to run my tests on status codes while i'm not providing token on POST request
So viewset looking like this:
class TopicViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
serializer_class = TopicSerializer
permission_classes = (IsOwnerOrReadOnly, )
pagination_class = TopicPagination
def get_queryset(self):
queryset = Topic.objects.all().select_related(
'owner',
)
return queryset
Permission class i'm using:
class IsOwnerOrReadOnly(permissions.BasePermission):
def has_object_permission(self, request, view, obj):
if request.method in permissions.SAFE_METHODS:
return True
return obj.owner == request.user
Test itself:
@pytest.mark.django_db
def test_topic_post_method_is_not_allowed_unauthenticated_user(api_client, topics_url):
response = api_client.post(topics_url, data={'name': 'hello', 'slug': 'hello'})
assert response.status_code == 401
So all i want is just a simple response like:
{
"detail": "Authentication credentials were not provided."
}
But i'm getting html django generated page(screenshot from Postman):
When you set new permission classes via the class attribute, the the view will ignore the default list in the settings.py
file.
You probably need to compose the permission list with the IsAuthenticated
.
And the error you're getting is because of request.user
is not returning a CustomUser
instance, you may need to query that custom user if your auth system is not injecting its instance in your request.
You can try to change the permissions to:
permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated, IsOwnerOrReadOnly,)
# or
permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated & IsOwnerOrReadOnly,)
