More Django testing and debugging reference

I was in unit testing hell today. my big stumbling block is working with the Test Client, using its login() method, to simulate a logged in user. The rest of the views I need to test for rely on the user being authenticated. I'm not going to go through all the variations I tried - I even dug into the Test Client source to see if I could figure out what it wanted that I wasn't already giving it. My conclusion after today: sometimes, the Django documentation lies. It lies, I tell you. Once I have a working piece of test code, I'll post it here. Meanwhile I found a few great testing/debugging references: Debugging Django (slide show by Simon Willison) Debugging Django (the accompanying notes) Add Extra Headers to Test Client Requests [Django Snippets] Django error notification with jabber [Nuno Mariz] https://svn.participatoryculture.org/svn/channelguide2/trunk/channelguide/testframework.py http://code.google.com/p/django-survey/source/browse/trunk/survey/tests/test_urls.py?r=64
