first time I ask on the website.

I was testing a Django Restframework app. The is to check an unauthenticated user that wants to create a review. I got this error: TypeError: Field 'id' expected a number but got <django.contrib.auth.models.AnonymousUser object at 0x7f5e95756920>.

this is the class test: class ReviewTestCase(APITestCase):

def setUp(self):
    self.user = User.objects.create_user(
        username="example", password="Password@123")
    self.token = Token.objects.get(user__username=self.user)
    self.client.credentials(HTTP_AUTHORIZATION='Token '   self.token.key)

    self.stream = models.StreamPlatform.objects.create(
        name="Netflix",
        about="#1 Platform",

CodePudding user response：

In data items, you are passing an object, and you have to pasa an id. Change this:

review_user: self.user.id

CodePudding user response：

The error is with this:

self.client.force_authenticate(user=None, token=None)

You've set the user=None, so their is no user id. Try setting it like this:

self.client.force_authenticate(user=self.user, token=None)

Note that according to the docs you may need to refresh the user from the database if using the same user on multiple tests:

Note: force_authenticate directly sets request.user to the in-memory user instance. If you are re-using the same user instance across multiple tests that update the saved user state, you may need to call refresh_from_db() between tests.

Or, perhaps create another user to test on:

self.user = User.objects.create_user(
        username="another_user", password="Password@123")
self.client.force_authenticate(user=self.user, token=None)
