I'm trying to test my consumers with the testing framework from django channels, but even a basic test doesn't seem to work

This is what my test case looks like:

from channels import Channel

from channels.test import ChannelTestCase, HttpClient, apply_routes

from rci.consumers import Demultiplexer

from rosbridge.consumers import OtherWebSocketConsumer



class ChannelTestCase(ChannelTestCase):



    def test_channel(self):

        client = HttpClient()

        client.send_and_consume('websocket.connect', '/new/') # <--- here's the error

        self.assertIsNone(client.receive())

This is my routing:

http_routing = [

    route("http.request", admin.site.urls, path=r"^/admin/", method=r"^$"),

    #...and so on

]



channel_routing = [Demultiplexer.as_route(path=r"^/sock/")]

This is my consumer:

class Demultiplexer(WebsocketDemultiplexer):

    channel_session_user = True



   consumers = {

       "rosbridge": ROSWebSocketConsumer,

       "setting": SettingsConsumer,

 }

This gives me the following error:

ERROR: test_ros_channel
(robot_configuration_interface.tests.unit.test_channels.ROSChannelTestCase)

I'm trying to follow this tutorial here:

http://channels.readthedocs.io/en/stable/testing.html#clients

channels 1.x

You are calling send_and_consume with two positional arguments which results in effect in this call (which is exactly why there happens an error during execution in this line):

# AGAIN this is wrong code this is what is written in the question

# only difference is the naming of the (previously positional) arguments

client.send_and_consume(channel='websocket.connect', content='/new/')

and here is the explanation why there is an error:

However, the implementation of send_and_consume expects content to be a dictionary:

def send_and_consume(self, channel, content={}, text=None, path='/', fail_on_none=True, check_accept=True):

        """

        Reproduce full life cycle of the message

        """

        self.send(channel, content, text, path)

        return self.consume(channel, fail_on_none=fail_on_none, check_accept=check_accept)

Implementation code taken from: https://github.com/django/channels/blob/master/channels/test/http.py#L92
