Test Client's Response lacks context/template when using Doctests

[DanielLindsley]

When using 'django.test.client.Client' in conjunction with doctests, the response that comes back from the client will be without the 'context' or 'template' variables. This occurs because the 'template_rendered' signal doesn't seem to fire. The doctest code I am using is:

>>> from django.test import Client
>>> c = Client()

>>> r = c.get('/weather/')
>>> r.status_code
200

>>> r.context[-1]['station'].id
1

Without the attached patch, 'r.context' is set to None (via an else case - 'setattr(response, detail, None)' in the Client's request method).

The context/template variables are never set because the 'template_rendered' signal doesn't fire as it has not been imported, thus failing to be connected. This only occurs when using doctests; unittests seem to act differently and aren't affected by this. The attached diff works with both doctests & unittests.

This is not a duplicate of ticket #3051, as these tests are being run from both 'manage.py test' as well as 'manage.py shell'.

Patch For Client

[DanielLindsley]

Correction: as these tests are being run from 'manage.py test', not 'manage.py shell'.

Can't recreate with the original code or a simple test case. Closing.
