How can I test async views in Django?

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

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

Sure! Here's a basic 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_name'))
    assert response.status_code == status.HTTP_200_OK

What about testing with Django's built-in test client?

Django's built-in test client doesn't support async views directly, so it's better to use AsyncClient from rest_framework.test.

Are there any specific settings I need to configure for async tests?

Yes, ensure that your Django settings are configured for async support, and use an ASGI server for running your tests.
