WSGI environ variables not set for test client's login() request

[tim.dawborn@…]

The fake HttpRequest object created in the test client's login() method does not contain any of the minimum set of WSGI environ variables defined in RequestFactory._base_environ. This becomes an issue when you have a signal receiver listening to auth.signals.user_logged_in and expecting a valid-looking request object to exist.

The specific issue I've got is that REMOTE_ADDR does not exist.

Is this a bug, or is there a reason I'm missing as to why this request object isn't valid.

I'm not sure either if this is a bug or not but in any case, it looks like a reasonable request.

From a quick look, it seems like it wouldn't be too hard to achieve by changing this line: ​https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/test/client.py#L542 to something like request = self.request().

[tim.dawborn@…]

Yup, that was what I was going to suggest if the request seemed reasonable. I just thought it was a bit hard to believe that this hadn't been an issue for anyone else before.

Well it turns out this issue has been discovered before (sorry, I should have checked first): #15179.

I'm closing this one as a duplicate.
