Assertion Failure 200 != 302

Hi there. I'm having a somewhat confusing error where when I run app_tests.py, I'm getting:

..F........
======================================================================
FAIL: test_taco_create (__main__.TacoViewsTestCase)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "app_tests.py", line 144, in test_taco_create
    self.assertEqual(rv.status_code, 302)
AssertionError: 200 != 302

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 11 tests in 3.974s

FAILED (failures=1)

What exactly does this error mean? I'm not sure what the rv.status_code represents (let alone 200 vs 302). Any tips for interpreting the error would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The test suite assigns the result of its HttpRequests (from self.app.post()) to the variable named rv (response value?). The status_code of the response is in the attribute rv.status_code. This test is expecting an HTTP 302 (redirect) status_code, but is instead getting an [HTTP 200](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes#200] (OK).

After you "create a taco" are you using a redirect to send back the "index" view?
