django.contrib.auth logout test fails after [10332]

[Matthew Flanagan <mattimustang@…>]

The test_logout_default fails for me when I run my projects test suite. I have django.contrib.auth in my INSTALLED_APPS. The traceback is (note this is a red-herring):

======================================================================
ERROR: Logout without next_page option renders the default template

Which template the logout view uses depends on your INSTALLED_APPS list order and whether or not you have your own registration/logged_out.html, which I do.

The traceback above is a red-herring because what is happening is that the logout view is finding my project's registration/logged_out.html template which has a few {% url ... %}'s in it but the test runner is unable to resolve all those other urls thus causing a 500 error.

After investigating I discovered two things:

1. django.contrib.auth.urls has a ^logout/$ url regex and django.contrib.auth.tests.urls imports urlpatterns from django.contrib.auth.urls and appends to it a list of test URLs including an identical ^logout/$ regex. If you renamed the latter to ^logout_test/$ and update 2 tests to use it then you will be assured that you are testing what you intended.

2. The test suite's ^logout_test/$ url should also define which template_name it uses so it won't try to load any old registration/logged_out.html and fail.

The patch attached fixes this.

fix for broken diff

[Matthew Flanagan <mattimustang@…>]

I don't know what I was smoking when I opened this ticket but test.urls doesn't redefine /logout/ (i must have added that myself late the other night). The v3 patch attached is far better by just adding a setUp and tearDown to tweak TEMPLATE_DIRS. If I don't add this fixI still get the same traceback as I have another registration/logged_out.html elsewhere in my project.

(In [10482]) Fixed #10747: fixed the auth tests to ignore broken user-supplied login/logout templates.
