[Answered ]-How do test in Django

✅

To properly test redirects, use the follow parameter

If you set follow to True the client will follow any redirects and a
redirect_chain attribute will be set in the response object containing
tuples of the intermediate urls and status codes.

Then your code is as simple as

from django.test import TestCase

class Test(TestCase):
    def test_login(self):
        client = Client()
        headers = {'X-OpenAM-Username': 'user', 'X-OpenAM-Password': 'password', 'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
        data = {}
        response = client.post('/login/', headers=headers, data=data, secure=False)
        self.assertRedirects(response,'/destination/',302,200)

Note that it’s self.assertRedirects rather than assert or assertRedirects

Also note that the above test will most likely fail because you are posting an empty dictionary as the form data. Django form views do not redirect when the form is invalid and an empty form will probably be invalid here.

Django have plenty of tools for testing. For this task, you should use test case class from Django, for example django.test.TestCase.
Then you can use method assertRedirects() and it will check where you’ve been redirected and with which code. You can find any info you need here.
I’ve tried to write the code for your task:

from django.test import TestCase

class Test(TestCase):
    def test_login(self):
        data = {'X-OpenAM-Username': 'user', 'X-OpenAM-Password': 'password'}
        response = client.post('/login/', data=data, content_type='application/json', secure=false)
        assertRedirects(response, '/expected_url/', 200)

Then you can use python3 manage.py test to run all tests.
