    <p>I'm trying to write a functional test that uses Selenium to test a Django view. When the user comes to a page ("page2"), the view that renders that page expects to find a session variable "uid" (user ID). I've read a half dozen articles on how this is supposed to be done but none of them have worked for me. The code below shows how the Django <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/overview/#django.test.client.Client.session" rel="nofollow">documentation</a> says it should be done but it doesn't work for me either. When I run the test, the view never completes executing and I get a "server error occurred" message. Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you.</p> <p>views.py:</p> <pre><code>from django.shortcuts import render_to_response def page2(request): uid = request.session['uid'] return render_to_response('session_tests/page2.html', {'uid': uid}) </code></pre> <p>test.py:</p> <pre><code>from django.test import LiveServerTestCase from selenium import webdriver from django.test.client import Client class SessionTest(LiveServerTestCase): def setUp(self): self.browser = webdriver.Firefox() self.browser.implicitly_wait(3) self.client = Client() self.session = self.client.session self.session['uid'] = 1 def tearDown(self): self.browser.implicitly_wait(3) self.browser.quit() def test_session(self): self.browser.get(self.live_server_url + '/session_tests/page2/') body = self.browser.find_element_by_tag_name('body') self.assertIn('Page 2', body.text) </code></pre>

    1. COI can't see where your set you uid into the session, it should be something like request.session['uid'] = uid. The way you recover uid from session is OK, so if you are setting the uid on session is correct then it's not an issue of session variable.

    2. CO(I think) I'm adding the uid to my session state with the last line in the setUp function above: self.session['uid'] = 1.

    3. COWell there is an easy way to test it. In your view try getting the uid from session like this: uid = request.session.get('uid', None), then print or logg uid variable and see if uid is None, which is the default in case key 'uid' is not found on session.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
