FileSystemDjangoTestCase (New in 1.3.0)ΒΆ

FileSystemDjangoTestCase has a tear down method to delete all test files generated by tests, to avoid letting trash in the file system:

class MyTests(FileSystemDjangoTestCase):
    def test_x(self):
        print(dir(self))

It also has a collection of methods to simplify tests that use files, like:

  • create_temp_directory

  • remove_temp_directory

  • create_temp_file

  • create_temp_file_with_name

  • rename_temp_file

  • remove_temp_file

  • copy_file_to_dir

  • add_text_to_file

  • get_directory_of_the_file

  • get_filename

  • get_filepath

  • get_content_of_file

  • create_django_file_with_temp_file

  • create_django_file_using_file

It also contains a set of assertion methods:

  • assertFileExists

  • assertFileDoesNotExists

  • assertDirectoryExists

  • assertDirectoryDoesNotExists

  • assertDirectoryContainsFile

  • assertDirectoryDoesNotContainsFile

  • assertFilesHaveEqualLastModificationTimestamps

  • assertFilesHaveNotEqualLastModificationTimestamps

  • assertNumberOfFiles
