How do I test asynchronous code in Django?

To test asynchronous code in Django, you can use the pytest framework along with pytest-asyncio. This allows you to write async test functions.

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

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import pytest
from myapp.models import MyModel

@pytest.mark.asyncio
def test_my_async_function():
    result = await MyModel.my_async_function()
    assert result == expected_value

What if I want to test a view that uses async?

You can use Django's AsyncClient for testing async views. Here's an example:

from django.test import AsyncClient

@pytest.mark.asyncio
def test_async_view():
    client = AsyncClient()
    response = await client.get('/my-async-view/')
    assert response.status_code == 200

Are there any specific settings I need for async tests?

Yes, ensure that your Django settings are configured for async support, especially if you're using a database that supports async operations.
