Welcome to pytest-django!
=========================

pytest-django allows you to test your Django project/applications with the
`pytest testing tool <https://pytest.org/>`_.

* Version compatibility:

  * Django: 2.2, 3.1, 3.2, 4.0 and latest main branch (compatible at the time of
    each release)
  * Python: CPython>=3.5 or PyPy 3
  * pytest: >=5.4

  For compatibility with older versions, use the pytest-django 3.*.* series.

Install pytest-django
---------------------

::

    pip install pytest-django

Why would I use this instead of Django's `manage.py test` command?
------------------------------------------------------------------

Running your test suite with pytest-django allows you to tap into the features
that are already present in pytest. Here are some advantages:

* `Manage test dependencies with pytest fixtures. <https://pytest.org/en/latest/how-to/fixtures.html>`_
* Less boilerplate tests: no need to import unittest, create a subclass with methods. Write tests as regular functions.
* Database re-use: no need to re-create the test database for every test run.
* Run tests in multiple processes for increased speed (with the pytest-xdist plugin).
* Make use of other `pytest plugins <https://pytest.org/en/latest/how-to/plugins.html>`_.
* Works with both worlds: Existing unittest-style TestCase's still work without any modifications.

See the `pytest documentation <https://pytest.org/en/latest/>`_ for more information on pytest itself.
