Django - test client receives 403 because of csrf
Question: I'm using Django 1.6 and python 3.3.

I'm trying to test POST form with django test client, and it receives 403
after sending request. If I add `@csrf_exempt` at my view method, everything
works perfect. But the Django documentation says that it should work with
enabled csrf protection fine:

> For this reason, Django’s HTTP client for tests has been modified to set a
> flag on requests which relaxes the middleware and the csrf_protect decorator
> so that they no longer rejects requests.

Here is my test code:

    
    
    def testSimple(self):
        c = Client('Chrome 1.0')
        from partners.views import cashier
        response = c.post(reverse(cashier.simple), {'x': 123})
        self.assertContains(response,'html')
    

And here is a view:

    
    
    def simple(request):
        return render(request, 'partners/cashier/index.html')
    

And when I run this test I see:

> AssertionError: 403 != 200

So, can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?


Answer: Client() has the following `__init__`:

`def __init__(self, enforce_csrf_checks=False, **defaults):`

You're setting enforce_csrf_checks to True b/c 'Chrome 1.0' evaluates to
truthy!

If you want to set the user agent:

`c = Client(HTTP_USER_AGENT='Mozilla/5.0')`
