I have this url which returns the json data of my models but I don't know how to create a unit test for a url like this

path("list/", views.json_list, name="json_list"), 

CodePudding user response：

I'm not really sure what is being asked. A test like this

url = reverse('myapp:json_list')
response = client.get( url)
body = response.content.decode()

is going to fail if anything is wrong with the url definition. (Specifically, reverse will fail if the name doesn't exist, and for an url with arguments, if what you supply as kwargs isn't accepted by the url definition).

As for validating the response, we can't help without knowing a lot more about what is expected. Presumably, you will locate the start of some JSON text in body, feed it to json.loads, and make sure the data is as expected. But I don't think that's what is being asked.
