Title Body

I have started using Django's testing framework, and everything was working fine until I started testing authenticated pages. For the sake of simplicity, let's say that this is a test: class SimpleTest(TestCase): def setUp(self): user = User.objects.create_user('temporary', 'temporary@gmail.com', 'temporary') def test_secure_page(self): c = Client() print c.login(username='temporary', password='temporary') response = c.get('/users/secure/', follow=True) user = User.objects.get(username='temporary') self.assertEqual(response.context['email'], 'temporary@gmail.com') After I run this test, it fails, and I see that printing return value of login() returns True , but response.content gets redirected to login page (if login fails authentication decorator redirects to login page). I have put a break point in decorator that does authentication: def authenticate(user): if user.is_authenticated(): return True return False and it really returns False . Line 4 in test_secure_page() properly retrieves user. This is the view function: @user_passes_test(authenticate, login_url='/users/login') def secure(request): user = request.user return render_to_response('secure.html', {'email': user.email}) Of course, if I try to login through application (outside of test), everything works fine.
