Flask-WTF / WTForms with Unittest fails validation, but works without Unittest

Question

When I run app normally and do login in browser, it works. But with Unittest it won't log me in .... , it returns login page again. Both "print rv.data" just prints content of login page, but it should print content of index page, which is login_required if it helps, I'm using SQLAlchemy as ORM. Anyone knows what can be problem? If any more code is needed, I will provide. I ve tried to search for similar question here , but didnt find. ``` #!flask/bin/python import os import unittest from config import basedir from app import app, db from app.models import User,Exam,Attempt,Subject class TestCase(unittest.TestCase): def setUp(self): app.config['TESTING'] = True app.config['CSRF_ENABLED'] = False app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'sqlite:///' + os.path.join(basedir, 'test.db') self.app = app.test_client() db.create_all() def tearDown(self): db.session.remove() db.drop_all() def login(self, username, password): return self.app.post('/login', data=dict( username=username, password=…

Accepted Answer

You should set `WTF_CSRF_ENABLED` not `CSRF_ENABLED` - right now, Flask-WTForms is trying to validate your CSRF token, but you are not providing one:

```
class TestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        app.config['TESTING'] = True
        # Wrong key:
        # app.config['CSRF_ENABLED'] = False
        # Right key:
        app.config['WTF_CSRF_ENABLED'] = False
```
