How can I use mocking in pytest with Django?

You can use the unittest.mock library to mock objects in your Django tests with pytest. Would you like an example?

Yes, please provide an example of mocking a Django model.

Sure! You can use mock.patch to replace the model with a mock object. For instance:

from unittest.mock import patch

@patch('myapp.models.MyModel')
def test_my_view(mock_model):
    mock_model.objects.filter.return_value = [MockObject()]
    response = client.get('/my-url/')
    assert response.status_code == 200

What if I want to mock a database call?

You can mock the database call in a similar way. Just patch the method that interacts with the database. Would you like to see more details?

Yes, that would be helpful!
