Answer 1

There are two ways to achive this.
My setup :
Django 3.2.12
django-test-curl 0.2.0
gunicorn 20.1.0
pytest 7.0.1
pytest-django 4.5.2
1) By using pytest-curl-report plugin (https://pypi.org/project/pytest-curl-report/)
I was getting below error after installing the "pytest-curl-report 0.5.4" plugin.
Error:
`pluggy._manager.PluginValidationError: Plugin 'curl-report' for hook
'pytest_runtest_makereport'
hookimpl definition: pytest_runtest_makereport(multicall, item, call)
Argument(s) {'multicall'} are declared in the hookimpl but can not be found in the hookspec`
I tired multiple install/unistall but it didnt helped.
Also I didnt found any fix this issue on google, so I skipped this one and decided to use django-test-curl plugin. See point no. 2)
2) By using django-test-curl plugin ("https://github.com/crccheck/django-test-curl")
$ pip3 install django-test-curl
Usage
from django_test_curl import CurlClient
class SimpleTest(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.client = CurlClient()
def test_details(self):
response = self.client.curl("""
curl http://localhost:8000/customer/details/
""")
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)
self.assertEqual(len(response.context['customers']), 5)
