RequestMock

✓ from request_mock import RequestMock

✗ from request_mock import RequestMock

Creates a simple GET request mock and passes it to a view.

import os from request_mock import RequestMock def test_my_view(): request = RequestMock( method='GET', path='/test/', META={'HTTP_HOST': 'example.com', 'SERVER_NAME': 'example.com'}, data={'key': 'value'} ) # Now use request in your view response = my_view(request) assert response.status_code == 200

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe `META` dictionary must include both 'HTTP_HOST' and 'SERVER_NAME' or request.get_host() may fail.

fix

Always set META with both HTTP_HOST and SERVER_NAME to match real Django behavior.

affects: all

deprecatedLibrary is no longer actively maintained; may not work with Django 4.0+ due to missing WSGIRequest attributes (e.g., 'headers').

fix

Consider using Django's built-in RequestFactory or pytest-django for testing.

affects: >=0.1.4

gotchaThe `data` parameter does not automatically parse query strings for GET requests; you must set QUERY_STRING in META or use a custom parser.

fix

For GET requests with query params, set META['QUERY_STRING'] explicitly.
