self.assertIn('<title>To-Do list</title>', html) 4. Check HTML starts and end with <html> tag

# Chapter 4. What Are We Doing with All These Tests? (And, Refactoring)
## 4.1 Programming is like pulling a bucket of water up from a well
TDD is **discipline**. Its payoffs not come immediately
## 4.2 Using selenium to test user interactions
Modify `functional_tests.py` to test user interactions
```python
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
import unittest
class NewVisitorTest(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.browser = webdriver.Firefox()
def tearDown(self):
self.browser.quit()
def test_can_start_a_list_and_retrieve_it_later(self):
# Edith has heard about a cool new online to-do app. She goes
# to check out its homepage
self.browser.get('http://localhost:8000')
# She notices the page title and header mention to-do lists
self.assertIn('To-Do', self.browser.title)
header_text = self.browser.find_element_by_tag_name('h1').text
self.assertIn('To-Do', header_text)
# She is invited to enter a to-do item straight away
inputbox = self.browser.find_element_by_id('id_new_item')
self.assertEqual(
inputbox.get_attribute('placeholder'),
'Enter a to-do item'
)
# She types "Buy peacock feathers" into a text box (Edith's hobby
# is tying fly-fishing lures)
inputbox.send_keys('Buy peacock feathers')
# When she hits enter, the page updates, and now the page lists
# "1: Buy peacock feathers" as an item in a to-do list
inputbox.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
time.sleep(1)
table = self.browser.find_element_by_id('id_list_table')
rows = table.find_element_by_tag_name('tr')
self.assertTrue(
any(row.text == '1: Buy peacock feathers' for row in rows)
)
# There is still a text box inviting her to add another item. She
# enters "Use peacock feathers to make a fly" (Edith is very methodical)
self.fail('Finish the test!')
# The page updates again, and now shows both items on her list
# Edith wonders whether the site will remember her list. Then she sees
# that the site has generated a unique URL for her -- there is some
# explanatory text to that effect.
# She visits that URL - her to-do list is still there.
# Satisfied, she goes back to sleep
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main(warnings='ignore')
```
Start django server and then run `python functional_tests.py`
## 4.3 The "Don't Test Constants" Rule, and Templates to the Rescue
Our object: test HTML.
Problem: currently test case look for exact HTML string, directly test content within HTML using fixed string is not wise.
Testing content within a HTML is not useful, as it's testing constant.
Unit tests are about testing **logic**, **flow control**, and **configuration**.
Using template is much better solution to test raw strings in Python.
### 4.3.1 Refactoring to Use a Template
Our object: refactor view function return the same HTML
**Refactor** = improve the code *without changing its functionality*
1. Create a html file in `lists/template` folder, in which Django look for template that used for the app
2. django use `render` function to render the template, given request
3. Add app into `superlists/settings.py`'s `INSTALLED_APPS` list, so django will search it
Check commit 89224c9
### 4.3.2 The Django Test Client
Django provides **Django Test Client** which can be used to check what templates are used.
```python
request = HttpRequest() #1
response = home_page(request) #2
```
can be replaced by (django test client)
```python
response = self.client.get('/') #1
```
And assert methods
```python
self.assertTrue(html.startswith('<html>'))
self.assertIn('<title>To-Do lists</title>', html)
self.assertTrue(html.strip().endswith('</html>'))
```
can be replaced by
```python
self.assertTemplateUsed(response, 'home.html') #3
```
Note: DJANGO TEST CLIENT is introduced until now because manual test steps are necessary for learning
Check commit 747e0c7
## 4.4 On Refactoring
Tip: **When refactoring, work on either the code or the tests, but not both at once**, otherwise, changing both will quickly lead to change across multiple files and chaos
## 4.5 A Little More of Our Front Page
## Recap: The TDD Process
Main aspects of TDD process:
* Functional tests
* Unit tests
* The unit-test/code cycle
* Refactoring
Overall TDD process is:
![TDD workflow](img/4-1.jpg)
Ques: How does FT, UT cooperate with TDD?
ANS: FT is a larger TDD cycle, while UTs are smaller TDD cycles
1. Write a FT and see it fail.
2. mini-TDD cycle of each unit test is employed to achieve small steps
QUES: How does refactoring cooperate with TDD?
ANS: Use a FT to check the behavior of app, FT is fixed but UTs can be add/removed
Overall, it's a "Double-Loop TDD" as shown below
