client.get() always fails on django.contrib.auth.views.logout

[anonymous]

I use built-in auth logout view, when I use browser to access /accounts/logout there is no problems at all, it works just great. But when I try to develop test case using django.test.Client, it always fails to get this URL. It is funny, why exactly this URL. I have tests all built-in auth views (login, password_reset, password_change, etc.) all do work, but this logout. I have updated to the latest SVN, but it doesn't help.

urls.py:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
import django.contrib.auth.views
urlpatterns = patterns(,

(r'^{accounts/login/$', django.contrib.auth.views.login),
(r'}accounts/logout/$', django.contrib.auth.views.logout),

)

This line always fails:

client.get('/accounts/logout/', {'la-la':'la-la'})

I can't get it, why it is like that.
I decided to add an empty 500.html template and this what I get afterwards. I did do nothing, except adding this empty 500.html. PROMISE!

Where does this bool object appeared from. I have reviewed django.contrib.auth.views 20 times, still I can't
understand what is wrong.

[cdome@…]

I have spotted the bug. FINALLY.

client.get('/accounts/logout/', {'lang' : 'en'}) fails because the function _(), which meant to be shortcut for
gettext, is not seen. Three is some bool variable '_' instead. This happens only if test environment is launched (manage.py test)

Since only logout_view from django.contrib.auth.views uses i18n, that is why it fails to get it.

This is the problem described in #2920. We're going to end up not installing _() in builtins because of these exact problems. Closing this as a dupe for that reason.
