I want to pass a dictionary to a function using Client. It looks like that:
response = self.client.post(
'/upload_image/', {'image': image, 'tags': ['orion', ]})
In my view, it's posting data to i have:
print(request.POST)
image = request.POST['image']
tags = reguest.POST['tags']
There is a MultiValueDictKeyError on request.POST['image'].
print(request.POST) shows that dictionary looks like:
<QueryDict: {'tags': ['orion']}>
image objects is:
image = SimpleUploadedFile(
'kitties.png', b'kitties_in_boxes', 'image/png')
It's about the image object, because when I pass something else as image (For example a string) it works well.
I suppose there is another way I could test uploading images functionality, but does someone know why this doesn't works?
Django separates uploaded files from other submitted data. The tags key exits in request.POST, but image should be in request.FILES. From what I can see, what you're doing is the correct way to test file upload with the test client.
