I'm having trouble figuring out how to call the "sync" create_user().
Error message:
django.core.exceptions.SynchronousOnlyOperation:
You cannot call this from an async context - use a thread or sync_to_async.
However, when I use sync_to_async, it cannot be awaited because this is not an async function...
from functools import wraps
from django.test import TestCase
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
def playwright_test(func):
@wraps(func)
def wrapper(self, *args, **kwargs):
with sync_playwright() as self.p:
self.browser = self.p.chromium.launch()
self.page = self.browser.new_page()
try:
result = func(self, *args, **kwargs)
finally:
self.browser.close()
return result
return wrapper
class TC(TestCase):
@playwright_test
def test_login(self):
self.page.goto(self.host)
self.page.fill('input[type="email"]', '[email protected]')
self.page.fill('input[type="password"]', 'TestLogin')
self.page.click('text="Login"')
# expect "Incorrect Credentials" message (no user created yet)
assert "Incorrect Credentials" in self.page.content()
User = get_user_model()
User.objects.create_user('[email protected]', password='TestLogin')
# Login again, this time successfully
self.page.fill('input[type="email"]', '[email protected]')
self.page.fill('input[type="password"]', 'TestLogin')
self.page.click('text="Login"')
assert "Login successful. Welcome back!" in self.page.content()
If you have a suggestion, please let me know, my hair starts to fall out. 🙏
As @CoffeeBasedLifeform generously wrote in https://stackoverflow.com/a/78651148/1031191 , for django the solution is https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-pytest/issues/29#issuecomment-731515676
Copying the link contents here:
For running Django tests with playwright you need to set environment variable DJANGO_ALLOW_ASYNC_UNSAFE = "true" django docs on this
This can be done by creating a conftest.py in the tests directory and setting the environment variable using# conftest.py import os os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_ALLOW_ASYNC_UNSAFE","true")
