Test raise an error with GZip middleware

[renolpilote@…]

With Gzip middleware and when running a simple view test like this :

def test_02_auth_non_requis(self):
    self.client.login(username='user1', password='pass1')
    response = self.client.get('/')
    self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)

It raises an

AttributeError: 'FakePayload' object has no attribute 'readline'

Here is the stack :

======================================================================

    return self._stream.readline(*args, **kwargs)

All is fine without the Gzip middleware in test environnement or when running django server. So I have to overwrite installed middleware only for tests.

I'm trying hard to reproduce your problem in a test. However, I don't get how the FakePayload of the get request is suddenly the content of the response. I think that only another middleware or the view code can explain that.

Ok, I reviewed my code, and actually there was an error on the instantiation of an HttpResponse (with the request as the first argument).

I spent an hour on this stupid mistake (shame).

So I close this ticket, our good 'GZip middleware' is not to blame...

Sorry for the wrong ticket, and thank you 'claudep' for your time.
