Hello all, 

I am struggling to write automated test for an App that uses JS and extra models. 

I used "questions_from_csv_complex: Read quiz questions from a CSV (complex version)" from oTree snippets by Chris Wickens. As the underlying structure. I just extended the options of the questions from 3 to 4 the rest is the same. 

I cannot seem to get pass the TypeError: player.raw_responses is None. 

I could not find any example tests.py for some inspiration. 

Can anyone give me a hint please? 

kind regards 
Ayşegül

Hi, can you show the full traceback and the relevant code?

Sure, thank you for the help. 

Here is the full traceback:

    raise TypeError(msg)
TypeError: player.raw_responses is None. Accessing a null field is generally considered an error. Or, if this is intentional, use field_maybe_none()    

Please find the relevant code in the attachment.

tests.py should be something like this:

from . import *
import json
import random


class PlayerBot(Bot):

    def play_round(self):
        trials = Trial.filter(player=self.player)
        raw_responses_py = {str(trial.id): random.choice('ABCD') for trial in trials}
        raw_responses_json = json.dumps(raw_responses_py)
        yield Submission(Trivia, dict(raw_responses=raw_responses_json), check_html=False)

        if self.subsession.round_number == C.NUM_ROUNDS:
            yield Results, dict(feedback_confidence=6)

Your test's yield statement needs to submit data in the exact same format that the page submits it to the server. In this case, that would be a JSON encoded string into player.raw_responses. The way you can see this for yourself is to put "print(repr(player.raw_responses))" in your before_next_page. Whatever gets printed out there is the format of data your bot should submit.

Thank you Chris. That clarifies things a lot for me. Thank you for your support.
