django-allauth test request as authenticated user

I have a new Django project (version 2.2), a custom user model and django-allauth to manage user registration (not via social, just with the email confirmation) and I'm trying to test some protected views.

In the setUp method of the test I create a new user and create a new EmailAddress (from allauth.account.models) with verified and primary set to True.

Next I try to login with: self.client.login(username=username, password=password) and I get True so everything is working so far and the user is logged.

If I try to view anything that requires login, I get a 301 redirect to the login page.

Here's my code:

user creation in setUp

username = '[email protected]'
password = 'testtesttest'

new_user = User.objects.create_user(
    username=username,
    email=username,
    password=password,
    )
new_user.save()
new_user.is_active = True
new_user.save()

new_email_address = EmailAddress(
    user_id=new_user.id,
    email=username,
    verified=True,
    primary=True,
    )
new_email_address.save()

login and test logged in

logged_in = self.client.login(email=username, password=password)
self.assertTrue(logged_in)  # and this works as expected

Now if I try to request a view that requires login:

response = self.client.get("/protected")

I get <HttpResponsePermanentRedirect status_code=301, "text/html; charset=utf-8", url="/protected/">

What am I missing or doing wrong?

The redirect you're showing actually shows you the url it's redirecting to: url="/protected/". So you're not redirected to the login page.

Note that a normal redirect would be 302 redirect (temporary), whereas here you see a permanent redirect, 301.

Either request the correct url (self.client.get('/protected/')) or follow through the redirects: self.client.get('/protected', follow=True). That way your response will be for the final page and you can test whether its contents are what you expect.
