- Added official support for Django 5.1.
- Dropped support for Django 3.2 and 4.1.
- Respect the
string_if_invalid
template setting when--fail-on-template-vars
is active and :func:`@pytest.mark.ignore_template_errors <pytest.mark.ignore_template_errors>` is used. - Avoid running database migrations for :class:`~django.test.SimpleTestCase` unittest tests.
- Added docstrings to public fixtures.
- Fix type hints for
pytest_django.asserts.assertFormError()
andpytest_django.asserts.assertForSetError()
.
- Added
pytest_django.asserts.assertMessages()
to mimic the behaviour of the :meth:`~django.contrib.messages.test.MessagesTestMixin.assertMessages` method for Django versions >= 5.0.
- Fix --help/--version crash in a partially configured app.
- Official Django 5.0 support.
- Official Python 3.12 support.
- The Django test tags from the previous release now works on any :class:`~django.test.SimpleTestCase` (i.e. any Django test framework test class), not just :class:`~django.test.TransactionTestCase` classes.
- Some improvements for those of us who like to type their tests:
- Add
pytest_django.DjangoAssertNumQueries
for typing :fixture:`django_assert_num_queries` and :fixture:`django_assert_max_num_queries`. - Add
pytest_django.DjangoCaptureOnCommitCallbacks
for typing :fixture:`django_capture_on_commit_callbacks`. - Add
pytest_django.DjangoDbBlocker
for typing :fixture:`django_db_blocker`.
- Add
- Official Django 4.1 & 4.2 support.
- Official Python 3.11 support.
- Drop support for Python version 3.5, 3.6 & 3.7.
- Drop official support for Django 4.0 and 2.2
- Drop support for pytest < 7.
- Add support for setting :py:attr:`available_apps <django.test.TransactionTestCase.available_apps>` in the :func:`django_db <pytest.mark.django_db>` marker.
- Convert Django :ref:`test tags <django:topics-tagging-tests>` to :ref:`Pytest markers <pytest:mark examples>`.
- Show Django's version in the pytest
django
report header. - Add precise
pytest_django.asserts.assertQuerySetEqual
typing.
- Fix bug where the effect of :func:`@pytest.mark.ignore_template_errors
<pytest.mark.ignore_template_errors>` was not reset when using
--fail-on-template-vars
.
- Fix regression in v4.5.0 -
pytest.mark.django_db(reset_sequence=True)
now impliestransaction=True
again.
- Fix regression in v4.5.0 - database tests inside (non-unittest) classes were not ordered correctly to run before non-database tests, same for transactional tests before non-transactional tests.
- Add support for :ref:`rollback emulation/serialized rollback
<test-case-serialized-rollback>`. The :func:`pytest.mark.django_db` marker
has a new
serialized_rollback
option, and a :fixture:`django_db_serialized_rollback` fixture is added. - Official Python 3.10 support.
- Official Django 4.0 support (tested against 4.0rc1 at the time of release).
- Drop official Django 3.0 support. Django 2.2 is still supported, and 3.0 will likely keep working until 2.2 is dropped, but it's not tested.
- Added pyproject.toml file.
- Skip Django's setUpTestData mechanism in pytest-django tests. It is not
used for those, and interferes with some planned features. Note that this
does not affect
setUpTestData
in unittest tests (test classes which inherit from Django's TestCase).
- Fix :fixture:`live_server` when using an in-memory SQLite database.
- Fix typing of
assertTemplateUsed
andassertTemplateNotUsed
.

- Add type annotations. If you previously excluded
pytest_django
from your type-checker, you can remove the exclusion. - Documentation improvements.

- Documentation improvements.
- Disable atomic durability check on non-transactional tests (#910).
- Add the :fixture:`async_client` and :fixture:`async_rf` fixtures (#864).
- Add :ref:`django_debug_mode <usage>` to configure how
DEBUG
is set in tests (#228). - Documentation improvements.
- Make :fixture:`admin_user` work for custom user models without an
email
field.

mail.outbox
has been re-introduced to not break functionality in 3.x.x release. This means that Compatibility issues mentioned in the 3.1.0 release are no longer present. Related issue: pytest-django issue
- Workaround --pdb interaction with Django TestCase. The issue is caused by Django TestCase not implementing TestCase.debug() properly but was brought to attention with recent changes in pytest 3.0.2. Related issues: pytest issue, Django issue
- Added new function scoped fixture
mailoutbox
that gives access to djangosmail.outbox
. The will clean/empty themail.outbox
to assure that no old mails are still in the outbox. - If
django.contrib.sites
is in your INSTALLED_APPS, Site cache will be cleared for each test to avoid hitting the cache and cause wrong Site object to be returned bySite.objects.get_current()
.
IMPORTANT: the internal autouse fixture _django_clear_outbox has been removed. If you have relied on this to get an empty outbox for your test, you should change tests to use the
mailoutbox
fixture instead. See documentation ofmailoutbox
fixture for usage. If you try to access mail.outbox directly, AssertionError will be raised. If you previously relied on the old behaviour and do not want to change your tests, put this in your project conftest.py:@pytest.fixture(autouse=True) def clear_outbox(): from django.core import mail mail.outbox = []
- Fix error when Django happens to be imported before pytest-django runs. Thanks to Will Harris for the bug report.
Added a new option
--migrations
to negate a default usage of--nomigrations
.The previously internal pytest-django fixture that handles database creation and setup has been refactored, refined and made a public API.
This opens up more flexibility and advanced use cases to configure the test database in new ways.
See :ref:`advanced-database-configuration` for more information on the new fixtures and example use cases.
- Official for the pytest 3.0.0 (2.9.2 release should work too, though). The
documentation is updated to mention
pytest
instead ofpy.test
. - Django versions 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 is no longer supported. The supported versions are now 1.7 and forward. Django master is supported as of 2016-08-21.
- pytest-django no longer supports Python 2.6.
- Specifying the
DJANGO_TEST_LIVE_SERVER_ADDRESS
environment variable is no longer supported. UseDJANGO_LIVE_TEST_SERVER_ADDRESS
instead. - Ensuring accidental database access is now stricter than before. Previously
database access was prevented on the cursor level. To be safer and prevent
more cases, it is now prevented at the connection level. If you previously
had tests which interacted with the databases without a database cursor, you
will need to mark them with the
pytest.mark.django_db
marker or request thedb
fixture. - The previously undocumented internal fixtures
_django_db_setup
,_django_cursor_wrapper
have been removed in favour of the new public fixtures. If you previously relied on these internal fixtures, you must update your code. See :ref:`advanced-database-configuration` for more information on the new fixtures and example use cases.
- Fix regression introduced in 2.9.0 that caused TestCase subclasses with mixins to cause errors. Thanks MikeVL for the bug report.
v2.9.0 focus on compatibility with Django 1.9 and master as well as pytest 2.8.1 and Python 3.5
--fail-on-template-vars
- fail tests for invalid variables in templates. Thanks to Johannes Hoppe for idea and implementation. Thanks Daniel Hahler for review and feedback.
- Ensure urlconf is properly reset when using @pytest.mark.urls. Thanks to Sarah Bird, David Szotten, Daniel Hahler and Yannick PÉROUX for patch and discussions. Fixes issue #183.
- Call
setUpClass()
in DjangoTestCase
properly when test class is inherited multiple places. Thanks to Benedikt Forchhammer for report and initial test case. Fixes issue #265.
- Settings defined in
pytest.ini
/tox.ini
/setup.cfg
used to overrideDJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE
defined in the environment. Previously the order was undocumented. Now, instead the settings from the environment will be used instead. If you previously relied on overriding the environment variable, you can instead specifyaddopts = --ds=yourtestsettings
in the ini-file which will use the test settings. See PR #199. - Support for Django 1.9.
- Support for Django master (to be 1.10) as of 2015-10-06.
- Drop support for Django 1.3. While pytest-django supports a wide range of Django versions, extended for Django 1.3 was dropped in february 2013.
- pytest's verbosity is being used for Django's code to setup/teardown the test database (#172).
- Added a new option --nomigrations to avoid running Django 1.7+ migrations when constructing the test database. Huge thanks to Renan Ivo for complete patch, tests and documentation.
- Fixed compatibility issues related to Django 1.8's setUpClass/setUpTestData. Django 1.8 is now a fully supported version. Django master as of 2014-01-18 (the Django 1.9 branch) is also supported.
New fixtures:
admin_user
,django_user_model
anddjango_username_field
(#109).Automatic discovery of Django projects to make it easier for new users. This change is slightly backward incompatible, if you encounter problems with it, the old behaviour can be restored by adding this to
pytest.ini
,setup.cfg
ortox.ini
:[pytest] django_find_project = false
Please see the :ref:`managing_python_path` section for more information.
- Fix interaction between
db
andtransaction_db
fixtures (#126). - Fix admin client with custom user models (#124). Big thanks to Benjamin Hedrich and Dmitry Dygalo for patch and tests.
- Fix usage of South migrations, which were unconditionally disabled previously (#22).
- Fixed #119, #134: Call
django.setup()
in Django >=1.7 directly after settings is loaded to ensure proper loading of Django applications. Thanks to Ionel Cristian Mărieș, Daniel Hahler, Tymur Maryokhin, Kirill SIbirev, Paul Collins, Aymeric Augustin, Jannis Leidel, Baptiste Mispelon and Anatoly Bubenkoff for report, discussion and feedback. - The `live_server` fixture can now serve static files also for Django>=1.7
if the
django.contrib.staticfiles
app is installed. (#140). DJANGO_LIVE_TEST_SERVER_ADDRESS
environment variable is read instead ofDJANGO_TEST_LIVE_SERVER_ADDRESS
. (#140)
- Fixed a bug that caused doctests to runs. Thanks to @jjmurre for the patch
- Fixed issue #88 - make sure to use SQLite in memory database when running with pytest-xdist.
This is a bugfix/support release with no new features:
- Added support for Django 1.7 beta and Django master as of 2014-04-16. pytest-django is now automatically tested against the latest git master version of Django.
- Support for MySQL with MyISAM tables. Thanks to Zach Kanzler and Julen Ruiz Aizpuru for fixing this. This fixes issue #8 #64.
Experimental support for Django 1.7 / Django master as of 2014-01-19.
pytest-django is now automatically tested against the latest git version of Django. The support is experimental since Django 1.7 is not yet released, but the goal is to always be up to date with the latest Django master
Invalid release accidentally pushed to PyPI (identical to 2.6.1). Should not be used - use 2.6.1 or newer to avoid confusion.
- Python 2.5 compatibility dropped. py.test 2.5 dropped support for Python 2.5, therefore it will be hard to properly support in pytest-django. The same strategy as for pytest itself is used: No code will be changed to prevent Python 2.5 from working, but it will not be actively tested.
- pytest-xdist support: it is now possible to run tests in parallel. Just use pytest-xdist as normal (pass -n to py.test). One database will be created for each subprocess so that tests run independent from each other.
- Support for py.test 2.4 pytest_load_initial_conftests. This makes it possible to import Django models in project conftest.py files, since pytest-django will be initialized before the conftest.py is loaded.
- Support for Django 1.5 custom user models, thanks to Leonardo Santagada.
- Support for configuring settings via django-configurations. Big thanks to Donald Stufft for this feature!
- Fixed an issue with the settings fixture when used in combination with django-appconf. It now uses pytest's monkeypatch internally and should be more robust.
- Python 3 support. pytest-django now supports Python 3.2 and 3.3 in addition to 2.5-2.7. Big thanks to Rafal Stozek for making this happen!
- Django 1.5 support. pytest-django is now tested against 1.5 for Python 2.6-2.7. This is the first step towards Python 3 support.
- Fixed #24/#25: Make it possible to configure Django via
django.conf.settings.configure()
. - Fixed #26: Don't set DEBUG_PROPAGATE_EXCEPTIONS = True for test runs. Django does not change this setting in the default test runner, so pytest-django should not do it either.
This release is backward incompatible. The biggest change is the need
to add the pytest.mark.django_db
to tests which require database
access.
Finding such tests is generally very easy: just run your test suite, the
tests which need database access will fail. Add pytestmark =
pytest.mark.django_db
to the module/class or decorate them with
@pytest.mark.django_db
.
Most of the internals have been rewritten, exploiting py.test's new fixtures API. This release would not be possible without Floris Bruynooghe who did the port to the new fixture API and fixed a number of bugs.
The tests for pytest-django itself has been greatly improved, paving the way for easier additions of new and exciting features in the future!
- Semantic version numbers will now be used for releases, see https://semver.org/.
- Do not allow database access in tests by default. Introduce
pytest.mark.django_db
to enable database access. - Large parts re-written using py.test's 2.3 fixtures API (issue #9).
- Fixes issue #17: Database changes made in fixtures or funcargs will now be reverted as well.
- Fixes issue 21: Database teardown errors are no longer hidden.
- Fixes issue 16: Database setup and teardown for non-TestCase classes works correctly.
pytest.urls()
is replaced by the standard marking API and is now used aspytest.mark.urls()
- Make the plugin behave gracefully without DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE
specified.
py.test
will still work and tests needing django features will skip (issue #3). - Allow specifying of
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE
on the command line (--ds=settings
) and py.test ini configuration file as well as the environment variable (issue #3). - Deprecate the
transaction_test_case
decorator, this is now integrated with thedjango_db
mark.
- Removed undocumented pytest.load_fixture: If you need this feature, just use
django.management.call_command('loaddata', 'foo.json')
instead. - Fixed issue with RequestFactory in Django 1.3.
- Fixed issue with RequestFactory in Django 1.3.
- Added
--reuse-db
and--create-db
to allow database re-use. Many thanks to django-nose for code and inspiration for this feature.
- Fixed Django 1.3 compatibility.
- Disable database access and raise errors when using --no-db and accessing the database by accident.
- Added the
--no-db
command line option.
- Flush tables after each test run with transaction_test_case instead of before.
- The initial release of this fork from Ben Firshman original project
- Added documentation
- Uploaded to PyPI for easy installation
- Added the
transaction_test_case
decorator for tests that needs real transactions - Added initial implementation for live server support via a funcarg (no docs yet, it might change!)
