Version History

0.7.0 - Minor Project File Restructuring

Slight change in project file naming, to try to fix an inconsistent issue when trying to access package debugging views. * Shouldn’t have any affect on package usage unless a project was directly

accessing these debug views.

Correction for bug in regards to ContextDict/ContextList objects and displaying debug output.

Now supports using regex to hide sections of debug output on test failure. * Useful for debugging template output with large amounts of content. * Particularly useful for templates that include third-party content (which

you’re unlikely to test for, that should be done in the third-party app itself), or projects with large amounts of header/footer/javascript html content.

Correct more debug output from last version.
Add assertContent functionality to optionally include custom error messages on failure.

LiveServerTestCase and ChannelsLiveServerTestCase both exists, and at least function in a non-multi-threaded environment.
- Seems to have some issues in multi-threaded testing environments. Needs further examination.
- New documentation for this is fairly non-existent at the moment. All test case options are available to view at <project_root>/django_expanded_text_cases/`text_cases/constants.py.

Updated/corrected docs.
Updated beta LiveServer classes to function with Chromedriver version 115 and higher.

Generally reworked/improved how URLs are handled in response assertions.
- All assertResponse type calls take args for additional parameters for url parsing, provided as args or kwargs (for Django reverse calls), or query_parameters (for GET style url calls).
- These parameters can be sent for both standard url resolving, and redirect url resolving.
Changed response.url to response.full_url.
- response.url now contains the response url minus site root, while response.full_url contains response url with site root.
Added assertTextStartsWith() and assertTextEndsWith() functions.
- These are more forgiving versions of assertText(), with similar output on failure.
Added setting for behavior of assertTitle() function in page response tests.
- To make behavior consistent across functions, the assertTitle()’s exact_match arg (default of True) has been renamed to allow_partials (default of False).
Updated default value of DJANGO_EXPANDED_TESTCASES_ALLOW_MESSAGE_PARTIALS to be False, to better match what is likely the default expected logic for most users.
LiveServerTestCase has been split into LiveServerTestCase and ChannelsLiveServerTestCase and is now tentatively usable.
- LiveServerTestCase uses basic selenium testing, while ChannelsLiveServerTestCase uses selinium via DjangoChannels.
General small bugfixes.

Updates project settings to allow better customization of debug output upon UnitTest failure.
Also refactors existing settings to be more consistent and uniform.
- Some existing settings names have changed.
Docs now reflect setting options for debug customization.

Includes customization of how test-users are handled, when running any given Integration/Response test.
- For more details, see Configuring Test Users.
- As part of this change, the default way of handling users has changed. Original default handling was equivalent to relaxed, but now is equivalent to anonymous to better match with Django’s default behavior.

Fixed multiple various bugs and potential inconsistencies with test handling.
Updated Integration content check to indicate when a value matches all except for text capitalization.

Initial implementation of improved test output text coloring.
- Slightly buggy, and definitely needs work. But its still more helpful than nothing.
Start of LiveServer/Selenium testing classes.
- Definitely in a “pre-release” state and not yet viable for use.
- For now, continue to use the default Django/Selenium LiveServer testing classes.

Most “core” functionality implemented.
BaseTestCase and IntegrationTestCase classes created.
Initial docs created.
Generally ready for version 0.2. Will update after live testing in actual projects, as a proper dependency.
