I have an export function for excel files with filters. The file downloads normaly and some manual tests looked fine. I wanted to write unittests to test the filter. For this I read the returned file with openpyxl. There I get the error.
export:
class DeviceExport(APIView):
def get(self, request):
response = HttpResponse(content_type="application/vnd.ms-excel")
response["Content-Disposition"] = 'attachment; filename="device_export.xlsx"'
wb = xlwt.Workbook(encoding="utf-8")
ws = wb.add_sheet("device")
# write data
wb.save(response)
return response
test:
class DeviceExportTest(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
# some set up
def test_filter(self):
self.c.login(username="testuser", password="password")
mommy.make("app.Device", name="name", serial_number=123) #should be in export
mommy.make("app.Device", name="name", serial_number=132) #shouldnt be in export
data = {'filter': '{"name": "name", "serial_number": "123"}'}
response = self.c.get(reverse('app:export_device'), data)
wb = load_workbook(filename=BytesIO(response.content)) #error here
ws = wb.worksheets[0].active
row_count = ws.max_row
error:
export with filter ... ERROR

Edit: The exported file seems to be the problem. If I try to manualy open the exported file with openpyxl I get the same error. Now I open the export in LibreOffice and say "save as". Its still the same file type and everything but if I open this new file with openpyxl it works
