django test client fails, but url works

Question

I'm having a strange problem with some unit tests, which are quite simple, but are failing. The strange thing is that this work with runserver, i.e, I can render the perfil_usuario view, but in unit tests this is failing with NoReverseMatch.

First of all, this my main urlconf:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r"^$", include("traxx.hotsite.urls", namespace="hotsite")),

    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^imperavi/', include('imperavi.urls')),
    url(r"^app/", include("traxx.sistema.urls", namespace="app")),
    url(r"^usuarios/", include("traxx.usuarios.urls", namespace="usuarios")),
    url(r"^notificacoes/", include("traxx.notificacoes.urls", namespace="notificacoes")),
    url(r"^clientes/", include("traxx.clientes.urls", namespace="clientes")),
)

My usuarios (4th url conf in main) urlconf is the following:

# coding: utf-8
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

urlpatterns = patterns("traxx.usuarios.views",
                       url(r"^perfil/(?P<id>\d+)/$", "perfil_usuario", name="perfil"),
                       url(r"^configuracoes/(?P<id>\d+)/$", "configuracoes_usuario", name="configuracoes"),
                       url(r"^login/$", "login", name="login"),
                       url(r"^logout/$", "logout", name="logout"),
)

This is the view:

def perfil_usuario(request, id):
    usuario = get_object_or_404(Usuario, pk=id)
    return render(request, "usuarios/perfil_usuario.html", {"usuario": usuario})

And this is the failing unit test:

class PerfilUsuarioViewTestCase(TransactionTestCase):

    """Testes para a view home"""

    def setUp(self):

        pass

    def test_get_perfil_usuario(self):

        usuario_fake = mommy.make(Usuario, nome_usuario="teste")

        c = Client()
        resposta = c.get(reverse("usuarios:perfil", kwargs={"id": usuario_fake.pk}))

        self.assertEqual(200, resposta.status_code)

The reverse call reverse("usuarios:perfil", kwargs={"id": usuario_fake.pk}) works just fine, outputing /usuarios/perfil/1/.

Call to reverse

>>> from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
>>> reverse("usuarios:perfil", kwargs={"id":1})
/home/george/projetos/.virtualenvs/traxx/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imperavi/views.py:1: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
  import md5

'/usuarios/perfil/1/'

I'm using Django 1.6.

Answer 1

As you can see from the traceback, id passed in kwargs is evaluated to None. This is why it is not matching the usuarios/perfil/(?P<id>\\d+)/$ url pattern.

In other words usuario_fake.pk value is None.

UPD:

the problem was actually in the template which the traceback was complaining about.
