How can I test Django REST framework async views?

You can use Django's built-in test client along with pytest-asyncio to test async views. Would you like an example?

Yes, please provide an example of testing an async view.

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import pytest
from django.urls import reverse
from rest_framework import status
from rest_framework.test import AsyncClient

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_async_view():
    client = AsyncClient()
    response = await client.get(reverse('your_async_view'))
    assert response.status_code == status.HTTP_200_OK

This tests an async view by making a GET request and checking the response status.

What if I need to test a POST request for an async view?

You can modify the example to include a POST request like this:

async def test_async_post_view():
    client = AsyncClient()
    response = await client.post(reverse('your_async_post_view'), data={'key': 'value'})
    assert response.status_code == status.HTTP_201_CREATED

This will test the async POST view and check if it returns a 201 status.
