How can I test asynchronous views in Django?

To test asynchronous views in Django, you can use the pytest framework along with pytest-asyncio.

Can you show me a simple example of an async test?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import pytest
from django.urls import reverse
from httpx import AsyncClient

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_async_view(client: AsyncClient):
    response = await client.get(reverse('your_async_view'))
    assert response.status_code == 200

This tests an async view by making an asynchronous GET request.

What about testing WebSocket consumers?

For testing WebSocket consumers, you can use Django Channels' testing tools. You can create a test case that simulates WebSocket connections.

Are there any specific libraries I should use?

Yes, you can use channels for WebSocket testing and pytest-asyncio for async tests. These libraries make it easier to handle async code.
