If I have a model called Enquiry with an attribute of email how might I check that creating an Enquiry with an invalid email raises an error?
I have tried this
def test_email_is_valid(self):
self.assertRaises(ValidationError, Enquiry.objects.create(email="testtest.com"))
However I get the Error
TypeError: 'Enquiry' object is not callable
I'm not quite getting something, does anybody know the correct method to test for email validation?
Django does not automatically validate objects when you call save() or create(). You can trigger validation by calling the full_clean method.
def test_email_is_valid(self):
enquiry = Enquiry(email="testtest.com")
self.assertRaises(ValidationError, enquiry.full_clean)
Note that you don't call full_clean() in the above code. You might prefer the context manager approach instead:
def test_email_is_valid(self):
with self.assertRaises(ValidationError):
enquiry = Enquiry(email="testtest.com")
enquiry.full_clean()
from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError
