I have created a test case to test my custom login_required decorator.

This is my decorator:

def login_required(view_func):
    @wraps(view_func)
    def wrapped_view(request, *args, **kwargs):
        # Check if the user is logged in
        if request.user.is_authenticated:
            return view_func(request, *args, **kwargs)
        else:
            return redirect('/auth/login')
    return wrapped_view

This is my test case:

class RegisterViewTests(TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.client = Client()

    def test_register_view_get_not_authenticated(self):
        response = self.client.get(reverse('register'))
        print(response.url)
        self.assertRedirects(response, '/auth/login')

Here when I print response.url I get ‘/auth/login’ but when I use the same to check the redirect I get this error:

FAIL: test_register_view_get_not_authenticated (authentication.tests.test_views.RegisterViewTests.test_register_view_get_not_authenticated)

I tried using reverse(‘login’) inside the assertRedirects but it still gave the same error.
