Django UrlResolver, adding urls at runtime for testing

Question

I'm looking to do some tests and I'm not really familiar with the URLResolver quite yet but I'd like to solve this issue quickly.

In a TestCase, I'd like to add a URL to the resolver so that I can then use Client.get('/url/') and keep it separate from urls.py.

Since Django 1.8 using of django.test.TestCase.urls is deprecated. You can use django.test.utils.override_settings instead:

from django.test import TestCase from django.test.utils import override_settings  urlpatterns = [     # custom urlconf ]  @override_settings(ROOT_URLCONF=__name__) class MyTestCase(TestCase):     pass 

override_settings can be applied either to a whole class or to a particular method.
