Django-Admin-Smoke is a Django app providing smoke tests for django-admin.
pip install django-admin-smoke
Full example located at testproject.testapp.tests

class ProjectAdminTestCase(AdminTests, AdminBaseTestCase):

model = models.Project # Django model to test against

def setUp(self):

# All inlines for tested model admin should be non-empty, so we fill
# all related models.
self.task = models.Task.objects.create(name='first',

def transform_to_new(self, data: dict) -> dict:
# Creating a new object is tested with following algorithm:
# 1. Open "edit" page for existing object
# 2. Clear PK value in form data
# 3. Clear PK values for all related objects in admin inlines
# 4. Clear FK values pointing to existing object in admin inlines
# 5. POST resulting data to "add" page
# This algorithm need some help with unique fields and other constraints
# and restrictions, so there is a hook for making newly created object
# valid.
data = data.copy()
# Project.name is unique, making new value
data['name'] += 'new'
# Manually reset PK/FK values in admin inlines
self.reset_inline_data(
data, # form data
'task_set', # name of inline prefix - it's FK's related_name
'project' # name of edited object FK field (FK.name)
)
# Task.name is also unique, it should be changed properly
data['task_set-0-name'] += '_new'
return data
def prepare_deletion(self):
# To delete an object with FK's with models.PROTECT behavior we need
# a hook to delete it manually before POST delete confirmation.
self.task.delete()
Happy testing and non-smoky admins :)
