I have EmailMultiAlternatives object with text and html content in my view:
email = EmailMultiAlternatives(subject=subject, body=message, from_email=sender, to=recipient)
email.attach_alternative(messageHTML, 'text/html')
When I test the content of message body attribute contains the text version and I don't know how to assert html content:
self.assertHTMLEqual(mail.outbox[0].body, message) # This test passes
self.assertHTMLEqual(mail.outbox[0].<???>, messageHTML) # But here I don't know what to do
675
When you write - mail.outbox[0], an email object is returned to you which is an instance of EmailMultiAlternatives class. It has an attribute called alternatives which is a list of alternative contents.
Since you attached only 1 alternative content, you can fetch it like this:
mail.outbox[0].alternatives[0]
# above will return the following tuple:
('<html>...</html>', 'text/html')
# \______________/ \_______/
# | |
# HTML content mimetype
To test the message, you can do this:
self.assertHTMLEqual(mail.outbox[0].alternatives[0][0], messageHTML)
