Django Factory Boy object does not exist - python-3.x

Question

I have an issue regarding factory boy using in the testing of my Lets assume I have this three models:
Class Company(models.Model):
name = str
Class Domain(models.Model):
company = ForeignKey(ref=Company)
name = str
created_at = datetime
Class Record(models.Model):
domain = ForeignKey(ref=Domain)
name = str
created_at = datetime
CompanyFactory(factory.django.DjangoModelFactory):
name = str
DomainFactory(factory.django.DjangoModelFactory):
company = factory.SubFactory(CompanyFactory)
name = str
created_at = datetime
RecordFactory(factory.django.DjangoModelFactory):
domain = factory.SubFactory(DomainFactory)
name = str
created_at = datetime
Having this, when I'm testing the Record views, at the begginning of every view I check that the Domain object is, in fact, related to the Company object such as:
try:
domain = Domain.objects.get(domain=domain_id, company__id=company_id)
except ObjectDoesNotExist:
return Response(
data={"message": "Domain isn't related to the company provided."}, status=status.HTTP_403_FORBIDDEN
)
But this code always returns an ObjectDoesNotExist exception when I make the testing with pytest+factory-boy but when I do manual testing runs fine. Have you experienced something similar? What I'm missing here?
Thanks in advance.
As requested per #gbrennon I'm adding the test code:
Hi! Thanks for answering.
My test code is as it follows:
class RecordCompanyAdminTests(CompanyAdminUser):
def setUp(self):
super(RecordCompanyAdminTests, self).setUp()
self.domain = DomainFactory.create()
self.record = RecordFactory.create()
def test_record_list_get(self):
url = reverse("autoprovisioning:record_list", kwargs={"company_id": self.company.id, "domain_id": self.domain.id})
response = self.client.get(url, format="json")
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_200_OK)

Answer 1

how are u doing?
the test code wasn't included but i'll try to infer things
when I do manual testing runs fine
it seems like u already populated ur database! but listen, when u run ur test suite django will be using a "test database" in favor of isolation!
what u need to do is to create, using the factory_boy lib, ur "data fixtures"!
my suggestion without any context:
class MyTestCase(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.existing_domain_in_database = DomainFactory.create(...) # insert here the data to populate this model
and the desired data should already exists in ur "test database" for every test that is going to be run inside of this class
