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
