Description

Hello.

I walk through the polls app tutorial ... I found an error in the code on part5 of the tutorial;

Code highlighting: 

  def test_past_question(self):
      """
      Questions with a pub_date in the past are displayed on the
      index page.
      """
      question = create_question("Past question.", -30)
      response = self.client.get(reverse("polls:index"))
      self.assertQuerysetEqual(
          response.context["latest_question_list"],
          [question]
      )

  def test_future_question_and_past_question(self):
      """
      Even if both past and future questions exist, only past questions
      are displayed.
      """
      question = create_question(question_text="Past question.", days=-30)
      create_question(question_text="Future question.", days=30)
      response = self.client.get(reverse('polls:index'))
      self.assertQuerysetEqual(
          response.context['latest_question_list'],
          [question],
      )


  def test_two_past_questions(self):
      """
      The questions index page may display multiple questions.
      """
      question1 = create_question(question_text="Past question 1.", days=-30)
      question2 = create_question(question_text="Past question 2.", days=-5)
      response = self.client.get(reverse('polls:index'))
      self.assertQuerysetEqual(
          response.context['latest_question_list'],
          [question2, question1],
      )

when i run the test i saw this error message:

Destroying test database for alias 'default'...

So i search the web for solution and i found that on stackoverflow.com:
​https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51255851/djangos-assertquerysetequal-method-failing-despite-the-two-query-sets-printin/66696842#66696842

The code above needs to change this way to past the test:

Code highlighting: 

class QuestionIndexViewTest(TestCase):

    def test_past_question(self):
        question = create_question("Past question.", -30)
        response = self.client.get(reverse("polls:index"))
        self.assertQuerysetEqual(
            response.context["latest_question_list"],
            map(repr, [question]),
        )

    def test_future_question_and_past_question(self):
        question = create_question(question_text="Past question.", days=-30)
        create_question(question_text="Future _question.", days=30)
        response = self.client.get(reverse("polls:index"))
        self.assertQuerysetEqual(
            response.context["latest_question_list"],
            map(repr, [question]),
        )

    def test_two_past_question(self):
        question1 = create_question(question_text="Past question 1.", days=-30)
        question2 = create_question(question_text="Past question 2.", days=-5)
        response = self.client.get(reverse("polls:index"))
        self.assertQuerysetEqual(
            response.context["latest_question_list"],
            map(repr, [question2, question1]),
        )

This code needs to map the second queryset with single quotation mark to pass the test.
please correct that or if i wrong help me for better solution.

Tutorial works for me. It looks that you're using docs for Django 3.2+ with older version of Django.

Hello there I'm completely agree with @hasan please fix that for version 3

 def test_past_question(self):
        """
        Questions with a pub_date in the past are displayed on the
        index page.
        """
        question = create_question(question_text="Past question.", days=-30)
        response = self.client.get(reverse('polls:index'))
        # print('####latest_question_list####', response.context['latest_question_list'], end='\n')
        # print('####question####', question, end='\n')

        self.assertQuerysetEqual(response.context['latest_question_list'], [question])

    def test_future_question(self):
        """
        Questions with a pub_date in the future aren't displayed on
        the index page.
        """
        create_question(question_text="Future question.", days=30)
        response = self.client.get(reverse('polls:index'))
        self.assertContains(response, "No polls are available.")
        self.assertQuerysetEqual(response.context['latest_question_list'], [])

    def test_past_future_question(self):
        question = create_question(question_text="Past question.", days=-30)
        create_question(question_text="Future question.", days=30)
        response = self.client.get(reverse('polls:index'))
        # print('RESPONSE=> ', response.context)
        self.assertQuerysetEqual(response.context['latest_question_list'], ['<Question: Past question.>'])

the 'test_past_question' is passed but 'test_future_question' is not but if I write 

self.assertQuerysetEqual(response.context['latest_question_list'], [question])

in 'test_future_question' it will again pass

so it is a genuine issue please don't ignore. Because this problem is blocking to clear the hackerrank hands-on as well and problem is we can't modify the test case file in hackerrank.

Gopal, please don't re-open old tickets. First of all, your issue has nothing to do with the problem reported in the ticket description. Secondly, tutorial works for me. It looks that you missed point about ​improving your view. If you're having trouble understanding how Django works, see TicketClosingReasons/UseSupportChannels for ways to get help.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
