Testing custom admin actions in django

by

Just pass the parameter action with the action name.

response = client.post(change_url, {'action': 'mark_as_read', ...})

Checked items are passed as _selected_action parameter. So code will be like this:

fixtures = [MyModel.objects.create(read=False),
            MyModel.objects.create(read=True)]
should_be_untouched = MyModel.objects.create(read=False)

#note the unicode() call below
data = {'action': 'mark_as_read',
        '_selected_action': [unicode(f.pk) for f in fixtures]}
response = client.post(change_url, data)
