How can I test Django tasks effectively?

You can test Django tasks by using the built-in testing framework along with tools like Celery's test utilities.

What are some common pitfalls when testing these tasks?

Common pitfalls include not mocking external services, failing to check task results, and ignoring task execution time.

Can you show me an example of a test case for a Django task?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from django.test import TestCase
from myapp.tasks import my_task

class MyTaskTestCase(TestCase):
    def test_my_task(self):
        result = my_task.apply(args=[1, 2])
        self.assertEqual(result.get(), 3)
