Data Converter for Testing

Sometimes, we want to upload binary files. Particulary in Selenium tests, it is nearly impossible to correctly input binary data - so we allow the user to specify base64 encoded data to be uploaded. This is accomplished by using a hidden input field that holds the value of the encoding desired.

>>> import zope.schema
>>> from z3c.form import widget
>>> from z3c.form import testing

As in converter.txt, we want to test a file upload widget.

>>> filedata = zope.schema.Text(
...     __name__='data',
...     title=u'Some data to upload',)

Lets try passing a simple string, and not specify any encoding.

>>> dataWidget = widget.Widget(testing.TestRequest(
...    form={'data.testing': 'haha'}))
>>> dataWidget.name = 'data'

>>> conv = testing.TestingFileUploadDataConverter(filedata, dataWidget)
>>> conv.toFieldValue('')
'haha'

And now, specify a encoded string

>>> encStr = 'hoohoo'.encode('base64')
>>> dataWidget = widget.Widget(testing.TestRequest(
...    form={'data.testing': encStr, 'data.encoding': 'base64'}))
>>> dataWidget.name = 'data'

>>> conv = testing.TestingFileUploadDataConverter(filedata, dataWidget)
>>> conv.toFieldValue('')
'hoohoo'
