Использование метода create_superuser в setUp решило проблему. Ниже код разрешает это.
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.staticfiles.testing import StaticLiveServerTestCase
from django.test import Client
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.webdriver import WebDriver
import time
from django.contrib.auth import authenticate
#from apps.digital.models import User
class MyTests(StaticLiveServerTestCase):
port = 0
host = 'my host'
def setUp(self):
super(MyTests, self).setUp()
self.selenium = WebDriver()
self.client = Client()
self.user = User.objects.create_superuser(username='test', password='Test1234', email='test@test.com', is_active=True)
self.user.save()
def tearDown(self):
self.selenium.quit()
super(MyTests, self).tearDown()
def test_login(self):
self.user = authenticate(username='test', password='Test1234')
if self.user is not None: # prints Backend login failed
self.user = User.objects.get(username='test')
print(self.user.username) # prints test
print(self.user.password) # prints Test1234
self.login = self.client.login(username='test', password='Test1234')
self.assertEqual(self.login, True)
print("Backend login successful")
self.selenium.get('%s%s' % (self.live_server_url, '/admin/'))
username_input = self.selenium.find_element_by_name("username")
username_input.send_keys(self.user.username)
password_input = self.selenium.find_element_by_name("password")
password_input.send_keys('Test1234')
self.selenium.find_element_by_xpath('//input[@value="Log in"]').click()
time.sleep(1)
else:
print("Backend login failed")
