Make your Django HTML tests more explicit and concise - and remove their dependence on the full response cycle.
Turn this:
resp = self.client.get(reverse('/'))
self.assertContains(
resp,
'<input id="id_email" type="text" name="email" maxlength="75" value="[email protected]>',
html=True
)
Into this:
html = render_to_string('homepage.html', {'user': {'email': '[email protected]'}})
with self.assertHTML(html, 'input[name="email"]') as (elem,):
self.assertEqual(elem.value, '[email protected]')
