Peeking into Django’s source code
I picked up another small issue on Kiwi TCMS.
This one is for writing tests for their custom Middleware. Initially, I
chose to use actual GET/POST requests and test the working of the
middlewares, but I changed my mind later after taking account of tests I
wrote for SafeJSONRPCHandler.
I looked up Django’s source code to learn how they have written tests for
their Middlewares. They had used HttpRequest objects to mimic an actual
request. Then, they asserted on different attributes of the request object
to verify that their middlewares are properly working.
Taking inspiration from Django’s tests, I also mimicked the request object and asserted on attributes of the request objects which were expected to be modified.

BentoML maintainers asked us to schedule another meeting with them to discuss more about the Kafka Integration. As this is the last week of the Fellowship, I don’t have high hopes for getting it to complete the PR in the tenure of the Fellowship.
I opened a small PR in the openwisp-controller for adding a note.
It was about a feature I added in ansible-openwisp2 that automatically
creates a default access credential and default template to configure
authorized_keys of network devices. The feature made a part of
documentation obsolete for users who used ansible-openwisp2 for installing
OpenWISP.
