Currently, I have a Django 1.11 project. It's setup to act solely as an API backend using Django Rest Framework.
I write unit tests using mostly APITestCase from rest_framework.test, TestCase from django.test, and sometimes TestCase from test_plus.
When I execute my tests I typically use commands like
python manage.py test
python manage.py test somemodule.tests.some_test_file.TestClass.specific_test_case
Or the above but with the keepdb flag to shorten the testing time
python manage.py test --keepdb
python manage.py test somemodule.tests.some_test_file.TestClass.specific_test_case --keepdb
How do I shift to using pytest gradually?
By gradually, I mean long term I move to pytest and pytest commands, but in the meantime, the tests already written can still be used in a single commmand because my CICD on CircleCI is still dependent on the tests to pass.
I also use factory-boy if that's relevant.
