When the test client detects a redirect to a URL seen in the
currently followed chain it will now raise a RedirectCycleError
instead of just returning the first repeated response.
It will also complain when a single chain of redirects is longer
than 20, as this often means a redirect loop with varying URLs,
and even if it's not actually one, such long chains are likely
to be treated as loops by browsers.
Thanks Preston Timmons, Berker Peksag, and Tim Graham for reviews.
This (nearly) completes the work to isolate all the test modules from
each other. This is now more important as importing models from another
module will case PendingDeprecationWarnings if those modules are not in
INSTALLED_APPS. The only remaining obvious dependencies are:
- d.c.auth depends on d.c.admin (because of the is_admin flag to some
views), but this is not so important and d.c.admin is in
always_installed_apps
- test_client_regress depends on test_client. Eventually these should
become a single module, as the split serves no useful purpose.
Requests made with django.test.Client.login() and logout() respect
defaults defined in django.test.Client instantiation and are processed
through middleware.
Thanks to Loic for the reviews.
Scheme is handled correctly when making comparisons between two URLs. If
there isn't any scheme specified in the location where we are redirected to,
the original request's scheme is used. If present, the scheme in
``expected_url`` is the one used to make the comparations to.
It's useful to be able to list all the (flattened) keys of a
ContextList, to help you figure out why the variable that's supposed
to be there is not.
No .values() or .items() added as the definition for those aren't clear.
The patch is Chris Wilson's patch from pull request 1065 with some
modifications by committer.
SuspiciousOperations have been differentiated into subclasses, and
are now logged to a 'django.security.*' logger. SuspiciousOperations
that reach django.core.handlers.base.BaseHandler will now return a 400
instead of a 500.
Thanks to tiwoc for the report, and Carl Meyer and Donald Stufft
for review.
