Web Browser Automation

You can access the test HTTP server from your preferred web automation library via context.base_url. Alternatively, you can use context.get_url(), which is a helper function for absolute paths and reversing URLs in your Django project. It takes an absolute path, a view name, or a model as an argument, similar to django.shortcuts.redirect.

Examples:

# Using Splinter
@when('I visit "{page}"')
def visit(context, page):
    context.browser.visit(context.get_url(page))

# Get context.base_url
context.get_url()
# Get context.base_url + '/absolute/url/here'
context.get_url('/absolute/url/here')
# Get context.base_url + reverse('view-name')
context.get_url('view-name')
# Get context.base_url + reverse('view-name', 'with args', and='kwargs')
context.get_url('view-name', 'with args', and='kwargs')
# Get context.base_url + model_instance.get_absolute_url()
context.get_url(model_instance)
