url_for() properly handles that for you. For example, here we use the test_request_context() method to try out url_for(). test_request_context() tells Flask to behave as though it’s handling a request route('/user/') def profile(username): return '{}\'s profile'.format(escape(username)) with app.test_request_context(): print(url_for('index')) print(url_for('login')) print(url_for('login', next='/')) The easiest solution for unit testing is to use the test_request_context() context manager. In combination with the with statement it will bind a test request so that you can interact with it. Here is an

particular, this means you should avoid using names like django (which will conflict with Django itself) or test (which conflicts with a built-in Python package). Where should this code live? If your background provided in mysite/settings.py has “create database” privileges. This allows automatic creation of a test database which will be needed in a later tutorial. If you’re using SQLite, you don’t need to create will save you time Up to a certain point, ‘checking that it seems to work’ will be a satisfactory test. In a more sophisticated application, you might have dozens of complex interactions between components
