override_flag doesn't affect template?

[wasabigeek]

Hoping someone can shed light on this - with the following code:

Django Test

with override_flag('showNewCalc', active=True):
    response = self.client.get("/correct-url/")
    self.assertContains(response, 'href="{0}"'.format(correct_url))

HTML

<a href="{% flag 'showNewCalc' %}/correct-url/{% else %}{% url 'app.views.incorrect_url' %}{% endflag %}">
     LINK
</a>

The test sees the incorrect_url. Is that expected i.e. I can only use the override_flag with a view?

No, I would definitely expect /correct-url/ in this case. Have you had any luck with this? Do you think you could write a test case (or a patch)?

I've hit an issue with override_flag just in my test cases. I think the issue is that it doesn't flush the cache. So even though I'm doing @override_flag('flag', active=False) in pdb I can check waffle.models.Flag.get(name='flag').everyone and it is False as expected. When I step into waffle.flag_is_active I see that it pulls the Flag from cache and everyone == True

Just checked out the code to make a PR for this, but maybe this was addressed? Master for version 12 looks like it's in a better shape than 11.1 that is out currently. Any chance of getting a release out soon?

0.12 was released a few weeks after this—going to go ahead and close it but please re-open if it's still an issue!
