How do I test asynchronous Django REST framework views?

To test asynchronous views in Django REST framework, 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 rest_framework.test import APIClient

@pytest.mark.asyncio
def test_async_view():
    client = APIClient()
    response = await client.get('/your-async-endpoint/')
    assert response.status_code == 200

What about testing with database interactions?

For database interactions, you can use Django's database fixture to ensure your tests run with a test database.

Are there any specific settings I need for async testing?

Yes, make sure to set ASGI_APPLICATION in your settings and use an async-compatible database backend.
