How to create user in Selenium tests?

Question

Django

In both tests, print prints what should only be printed in the usucces test, even though the user has been created. What's the matter? And what is the best way to write an assert so that it checks for the presence of an element that falls under the selector?

from django.test import LiveServerTestCase
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.webdriver import WebDriver
from django.contrib.auth.models import User



class MySeleniumTests(LiveServerTestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        self.selenium = WebDriver()
        User.objects.create(username='admin', password='admin', email='')

    def tearDown(self):
        self.selenium.quit()

    def test_login_success(self):
        self.selenium.get(self.live_server_url)
        username_input = self.selenium.find_element_by_id("id_username")
        username_input.send_keys('admin')
        password_input = self.selenium.find_element_by_id("id_password")
        password_input.send_keys('admin')
        self.selenium.find_element_by_css_selector('.btn-success').click()
        print User.objects.all()
        print self.selenium.find_element_by_css_selector(".alert").text

    def test_login_unsuccess(self):
        self.selenium.get(self.live_server_url)
        username_input = self.selenium.find_element_by_id("id_username")
        username_input.send_keys('adminw')
        password_input = self.selenium.find_element_by_id("id_password")
        password_input.send_keys('adminw')
        self.selenium.find_element_by_css_selector('.btn-success').click()
        print User.objects.all()
        print self.selenium.find_element_by_css_selector(".alert").text

Answer 1

The user is created in the local database. And when testing the application, Memory Database is used. And there is no user by default
