A snippet showing how to test asynchronous Django views.


# Result (tests/test_async.py)
from django.test import AsyncClient, SimpleTestCase
from django.urls import reverse

class AsyncViewTest(SimpleTestCase):
    async def test_async_view(self):
        client = AsyncClient()
        res = await client.get(reverse("async-ping"))
        assert res.status_code == 200
      
Explanation:
  • Use AsyncClient and SimpleTestCase (Django ≥ 3.2) to test async views.
  • Mark test as async def to await calls.
